I think Milian investigated this once and concluded that no database on
the market can do the lookups we need to do in an efficient-enough
manner. Also, this is a huge amount of work to change.

That said, if there is a solution with the same or superior performance
and somebody is willing to do the porting, I'm all for it ...
