Greetings Neal,

"ASAP" is quite strong...  I vote for "after 3.2.0 is released", and 
perhaps "after 3.2.1 bug-fix is released".

To me, the bloated database / slow digging seems a more major problem.  
Feedback from 3.2.0b5 showed that it was a real disincentive for 
3.1.6 users to migrate, and that would mean someone needs to support 
the legacy 3.1.6 code indefinitely.

As a side issue, there is debate about whether UTF-8 (rather than  
wchar)  is suitable for internal representation.  However, once we 
encapsulate all of our string handling behind a simple API, we will 
be able to change libraries easily.

Cheers,
Lachlan
