[GNC] Using a mysql database?

[Jacob Larsen]

Ahh. It felt like it loaded faster from the database, but I just timed 
it and it is the same. In any case, the stalls on autosave are enough to 
switch to a database for me.

I have to add though that even if day-to-day writes to the database are 
instant then the initial import does take forever. Just one time though.
