Have the local database in a tarball but also extracted. All reading is done from the tarball, so -Q operations would be fast due to not require reading from lots of small files.
If you use a separate database for faster access anyway, why not use a real fast format like sqlite or such alike? It could be a fragile format since the db would be regenerated after each access. I personally see not much gain in this, it'd be a few milliseconds you save on the cost of making a simple task unnecessary complex (I am follower of the KISS principle :-).
