[Xastir] Xastir 2.0 (next-gen?)

I too am concerned about the install complexity and performance when
including a DB.

We've had some student teams working on APRS apps, and had "use a
database for data store" and "data persistence between runs" as
requirements.  The ones that performed will generally did _not_ use a
DB as the main data store, but used some sort of memory structure
internal to the program (and dumped data to the DB either write-only
as it came in, or as an "exit" function).  Performance with sqlite was
generally terrible, and using mysql on a dedicated server with 1Gb
ethernet between the client and server was poor at best.

There are lots of other performance issues involved (threading, etc),
and the code was written for correct operation, not performance.
There were no performance metrics assigned.  Still, it makes me
wonder...
