Whenever I see a DB written Java, I run, very fast and very far away. I've never had good experience with these implementations. If you say, the DB isn't performing well, the only answer you get is, well you forgot to tune these 1000 knobs and good luck if your data doesn't fit in RAM. For some reason I feel your DB in a text file, would fare just as good as these given the same memory and resources that these Apache/java DB servers demand.
