Is there a need to have the transactions available in the database
immediately? If not you'd probably be better off syphoning them into
a database at the end of each day using your database's variant of
psql's "copy" command. This gets around the need to do a single
INSERT operation for every cache transaction - something that could,
on a busy cache, lead to the db insertions taking longer than the
logging period.
