FWIW, there are people out there with multi-hundred-GB to TB databases
(you might try searching the archives for "American Chemical Society",
for instance).  So you're not pioneers.

I do agree that the special problems of running huge DBs on Postgres
might belong in a pgsql-perform list rather than any of the regular
lists.  Anyone else agree?  Or does the pgsql-general list readership
want to see this stuff?
