No problem Arnaud, these stats aren't for criticizing anyones signatures,
but to highlight that different databases can take higher/log cpu/memory
requirements... as you point out, the same thing applies to the official
sigs anyway.

So, if you've a low end memory/cpu you will need to be a bit more
selective on your db choices.
