And this is where we demonstrate divergent thought processes. *My*
first line of attack if hybrid async/thread doesn't work would be to
mandate a PostgreSQL backend, not to switch to hybrid async/process :)
Is the added value of "you get three options of database back-end"
worth the added cost of "but now my code is massively more complex"?
