Performance over the wire to an SSH mounted drive is pretty good, much better than the old version, especially for I/O operations such as adding books.
I still think it would be great to have a network version of the database driver for this situation, but I guess that's pretty far down the list of priorities. If there was a drop-in solution that would be ideal, but as there is none, it requires some coding changes. I've taken a look at this and I started working on it on my own build but it went horribly wrong and I have had to start over. My Python skills just aren't up to snuff yet. Hopefully once I get through my current mind-numbing round of certification study I will be able to try again.
In the meantime, this is really fantastic! Thanks Kovid.
