Now your talkin' 

This looks nice
- It needs to be abstracted into a proper api that can understand that those 
are separate dbs. (this removes my problem regarding one-database - since the 
underlying engine can consider multiple databases to be a single one)
- Raises a potential problem if it turns out that sqlite is not sufficient for 
our use-cases (which I hope will not happen)

I've seen that xapian can be used to index stuff in other databases. Any use 
for that? Or is it better to keep them separate.

At the moment, then, the main problem that remains is that queries are not 
able to return anything except a list of results (such as result properties). 
Eliminating round-trips and all.

One of Marco's greatest annoyances with old kactivities API was exactly that - 
a method that returns a list of activities, and methods to get various 
properties for an activity. The service is now able to dump everything you 
want in one chunk.

And, almost forgot, async api.

It might be nice to talk about it at Tokamak, though it might also be a bit 
too late?
