using the cache_size and synchronous pragmas sounds like a better way to 
trade reliability against speed/memory use.  e.g.

table_memory = 100000000 # bytes
cur.execute("pragma cache_size = %d;" % (table_memory / 1500))

...

cur.execute("pragma synchronous = off;")
# do lots of stuff
cur.execute("pragma synchronous = full;")
