(Top posting fixed...quoting might not be - curse you Apple Mail!)

So where exactly will the MySQL backend live if not on disk??  If your qmgr is 
choking on I/O, then throwing a DB at it wont help, in fact I can think of a 
number of ways this will make an I/O-challenged systems WORSE.  I guess you 
could find some tool (or write one) that abstracts a MySQL database out to a 
file system, heck, I've seen all manner of weird things abstracted to file 
systems.  At the end of the day, a file system is essentially an extremely 
specialised DB...for storing, accessing and manipulating files.

So far the list has asked for specifics about the problem.  You keep demanding 
a specific solution.  Without knowing anything about your setup, what testing 
you've done, heck, even the version of Postfix you're on, how do you expect us 
to help you?  Without being rude, have a read of 
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - specifically about half 
way down titled: "Be precise and informative about your problem".

Good luck,

James
