Hello,
[cut]
I see you have discussed the database question several times. I hope this
could give you some answers (is a binary database really faster etc). It's clear that binary data are faster than txt data. There are some guy
code that don't want to hear this: their way is the best {clean, useful etc} and others sucks.
Well, I could accept pluggable db back-ends in libalpm [and maintain an officially supported one here]. The problem is, that you must get your distro to provide you special db formats for sync repos. [Converting databases is odd imho]. But we agreed earlier that optimizing sync-repo-db is much easier, because that is a read-only db, so their "inefficiency" [from your point of view] might disappear in the future.
