Any system requires tuning to perform well. The previous history system no doubt had a lot of performance work done on it to make it fast, and sqlite is no different. I don't see this as a warning sign at all. (Perhaps some of this feeling is a result of the early impression that was floating around that sqlite would solve all our problems, which is clearly not true.) We have produced a system that has been tested it to perform well under constant use while you browse. > There are outstanding unresolved issues about how we plan to version the I would also like to see this discussion take place.

Maybe this decision wasn't made explicitly, but it will take a lot of work that hasn't been planned and would give a measurable performance hit no matter what, so I think the decision has been made implicitly.
