A single DB machine can easily become a performance bottleneck.

It doesn't matter if it sorts 1000x faster than client code, when there aren't cycles left to perform this (in theory) very performant sorting.

This might not be your actual problem, but I've seen it hit a completely oblivious dev team before :)
