That is my biggest concern.

My second biggest concern is performance overhead. Sure, they are individually fast. However the one thing that is hardest to scale is the database. Loading the database up front with overhead means that you'll hit that limit sooner rather than later.

Agreed. I like thinking of the database as a dumb data store, optimised for data integrity, fast reads and writes, and nothing more.
