Otherwise, go go sqlite :)
Wasn't there a (set of) patch(es) for a "packed" format for the databases (tar-like, iirc)? From what I remember there was a performance improvement.
There was talk about moving to a tar based back-end but I don't remember patches. There was some patches for an sqlite backend but given we already need libarchive to extract the packages, a tar based backend makes more sense to me.

I was referring to the packed format[1], which is yet another backed. Not sure what actually happened with it. Anyway, back on topic ;). [1] http://www.archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2008-December/007805.html
