As a kind of [very?] dumb question, is this where SQLite has been used? I am just curious.

We have a real-time application that processes data as it comes in.
Doing some simple math tells us that a disk-based DB cannot possible
perform fast enough to allow us to process the data.


I have to ask the obvious question... as we develop solutions which must process 100,000 queries a second. In those cases, we use a combination hash table and link-lists. There are times where SQL is not the right choice, it is great for simplifying indexing and locks - but prior to SQL *we* had to write code guys... and it sounds like you too need to go back to old-school programming techniques.
