Well, yes. Ask him to come over to performance list, if he cares. I doubt that
looking at the entire thread. Only couple of sensible postings with a benchmark
page at http://www.sergeant.org/sqlite_vs_pgsync.html for which I couldn't find
postgresql.conf file. Furthermore sqllite results do not agree with
http://www.sqlite.org/speed.html in themselves..

I won't be too optimistic about that. But worth a try..
