Hi :) Part of the reason why TDF broke away from Oracle was Oracle's refusal to consider patches, trouble-shooting or any other work done by the community. Sun's reluctance (before Oracle) drove some people to set-up projects such as Go-oo which then reintegrated into TDF once there was a firm commitment to move away from Oracle.
Time spent helping Oracle is time wasted that achieves nothing, in the experience of many in TDF and other OpenSource projects. The "support" of Oracle is the main thing that has crippled many projects which are now developing really fast independently. One example is MariaDb compared to MySql.

My guess is that it is not anything big, maybe a regression since this seems to have happened before, and if we can pinpoint it, it should not be too difficult to fix it or get someone at OpenJDK to do so.

I am sure that people with really big databases will use separate applications anyway. For my purposes, with around 2000 records, base was perfectly adequate in terms of speed until OpenJDK-6b23. Whether or not base moves away from HSQLDB in the future, in the mean time I think we need to get this one fixed and get base running as well as we can.
