Yup. Generally, there's work on severing database dependencies so
group, user, land, etc can be split apart and scaled and tuned
independently. I'm not the best Linden to ask about that work - but
the details I've seen are pretty cool. It could be worth a post to the
tech section of our blog if you ask for more about it there. It's not
really an sldev/open source issue.
