Well, it isn't really the largest database or the database that need the most performance... At the moment, the
database isn't larger than 15MB and is growing slowly... It is a webapp that is using the database and at the most
(at the moment) there is about 12-14 concurrent users and not much data volume...
We are thinking about this spec. because the web app is a java app, and we need need something that can run java
fast as well as postgresql...
