I wouldn't recommend the inmemory database for large-scale use at
present - it's not been written with such use in mind.  If you have
plenty of memory, you'll keep the disk based database in RAM anyway.

The long term plan is to replace inmemory with the disk-based backend
but working out of memory rather than disk.
