Just a quick note, in case you see worse performance with Postgres than
with SQLite...

Postgres (by default) does an fsync() or an fdatasync() (can't remember
which) after every write to the database files, (similar default
behaviour to SQLite 3.0) which can hamper performance, but with
increased resiliency.

Since you can (in case of disaster) recreate the catalog using bscan, I
would be tempted to run the catalog database without this option, and
take my chances (assuming I saw a noticeable performance increase with
the sync option off).

See the Postgres FAQ "How do I tune the database engine for better
performance?"

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.FAQ.html#3.3

Pay special note to the "Server configuration" section.

By tuning your DBMS, you should be able to get a noticeable performance
boost (the same applies to MySQL, and probably to SQLite too).

Note that I'm still using SQLite 2.x here.
