The 5 query limit could easily be addressed by coalescing DB obs
into a worker thread (which is the type of thing that's generally
done anyway). At that point, you could concievably have a 5 machine
cluster hanging off the database.  I don't much like crippleware
either, but this is free software marketed by a for-profit company.
I wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
