On Zotero database efficiency/speed
A couple of related questions.
First, I have tagged an item with more than 150 tags. Is Zotero ready to deal, and fast, with such quantity of tags for an item?
Further, lastly, when I introduce partial content of an item to be cited, autocomplete seems a bit slow. My full library has mora than 8400 items. I thought if this may be due to Zotero data be built with SQLite. Have Zotero developers thought on replacing SQLite with, let's say PostreSQL, known to be faster?

Upgrade Storage
It is probably better to investigate your specific problem in depth before suggesting major changes. I suspect that the introduction of a database server as a requirement for Zotero, while SQLite is just a simple file-based technology, would be approached with extreme caution :-)
