Right, but giving it more hints means it's more likely to do the smart and fast thing. For what it's worth, Taras is working on improving the performance of SQLite in Firefox. He has data that shows that this can dramatically reduce the number of page faults (Taras, please correct me if I'm misrepresenting things) when loading the database. These leads to faster startup times of Firefox.
