You might consider using the SQLite recipe: 
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SQLite

It's a pretty simple change to make, and should be transparent to users of the 
wiki. I believe it can coexist with flat files as a separate page store. The 
caveats, as I recall: it only creates new pages in the database (existing pages 
are imported as they are changed). Also, I'm not sure how you would export from 
the SQLite database to flat files, if you ever want to go back. That can 
probably be done via a loop of PHP code.

If you find 250k articles is too slow even with SQLite, in theory a recipe 
could be written for SQL or another database. The ability to handle huge 
numbers of page would be a nice addition to PmWiki.

Do report back on your experience.
