Well, it's only a case of "I expect ..." so we shouldn't trust my intuition until we've benchmarked it a bit :-)

Having said that - we will still be using script to iterate over the keys/elements of the array, so there is likely to be some cost there - even before we allow sqlite to index some columns.

I've just started looking at it from the performance point of view, and reduced the time for the simple case in the included test stack by 95% so it doesn't feel so bad now .... but I'll need to completely rewrite the main functions/handlers :-(

I'll try to import the data into an sqlite DB and compare against that too - will report with some numbers tomorrow (and come up with a more reasonable test case.

Both use hashed lookups to find data.  What would be needed to bring LC array queries on par with SQLite?
