A quickie port of my app to MySQL only took ~30 min, so I worried about 
that a bit more than necessary. But I found to my surprise that for my 
smallish data set without much attempt at optimization either way, 
MySQL-over-internal-network doesn't seem to have any substantial speed 
advantage over SQLite-over-NFS on Mosso. SQLite may even be faster.

So now that I know performance is a toss-up, it would be really nice to 
know if I'm safe using SQLite on NFS. Anyone have any thoughts? What 
kind of race conditions should I be simulating? Is it enough, do you 
think, to make a simple page that runs a few inserts and try to load it 
with N clients simultaneously a few [dozen? hundred? thousand?] times?
