I might be wrong as well, but I'd say it does not.  I could not found
ImageDB::info() btw, but afaik we are talking about this method.

  DB::ImageInfoPtr XMLDB::Database::info( const QString& fileName ) const
  {
      static QMap<QString, DB::ImageInfoPtr > fileMap;

      if ( fileMap.contains( fileName ) )
	  return fileMap[ fileName ];
      else {
	  fileMap.clear();
	  for( DB::ImageInfoListConstIterator it = _images.constBegin(); it != _images.constEnd(); ++it ) {
	      fileMap.insert( (*it)->fileName(), *it );
	  }
	  if ( fileMap.contains( fileName ) )
	      return fileMap[ fileName ];
      }
      return DB::ImageInfoPtr();
  }

What I can tell it just looks up from fileMap and if fileName isn't
there it (re)builds the whole map.  SQLDB version looks like this

  DB::ImageInfoPtr SQLDB::Database::info( const QString& fileName ) const
  {
      return _infoCollection.
	  getImageInfoOf(Utilities::stripImageDirectory(fileName));
  }

QMap does the footwork for lookup.  Doc says it's a skip-list.  Using
QHash (any reason why not?) instead we could speed it up a bit.
