In short, I don't know.

I think the 7.4 or 7.5 release is supposed to replace MySql with
something less resource intensive. Back when the then slimserver moved
to MySql it was because the lighter package couldn't do some of the cool
things that were needed. But all active software gets better, so these
days, its believed that the lighter package (I think SqLite) can handle
the needs and not take so much memory, CPU, etc.

I don't know when it is scheduled to be released.
