[Gllug] MySQL Woes

implement.  

I think this is the crux of the matter, no such thing as a free lunch.
If you want speed you can't have referential integrity, etc., because
this all takes time.
If you want the referential integrity etc., you can't have speed, the
two are inversely proportional.

interesting:
