A significant change from FF2 to FF3 is the use of sqlite3 for the

were doing fsyncs at strategic points to ensure db consistency. I know I
moved a gdbm dependent app (bogofilter) off into a /dev/shm cache to avoid a
similar fsync storm last year sometime.
Just a thought.
You hit the nail on the head most likely. Someone left a comment on my
bug about another related bug which is abotu zoom and use of sqlite.
