Yeah, this sucks. I know about it. On the other hand, at the time it was the
only way to get lurker to import as fast as it does.

I am currently designing a completely new database with the aim of more
transactional behaviour (and incidentally, more speed). This is in fact what
is holding up my switch to a more reasonable 1.0 version number.

I can't promise it for 0.1f since I may need to release if there are non-db
related bugs or easy fixes, but 1.0 will definitely not have this problem.
(or at least, if it does, it will be a more minor bug)

I wish all the feature requests I got were what I was already doing.
