I cannot.
However I don't think that's the point.

A faster DB system with 3X records might perform better or worse than 
current DB system with X records; even if the balance was positive, it 
would still be slower than the new DB system with X records.
That is still a reason against splitting in the wild.

P.S.
I'd gladly try sqlite instead of the current pkgdb and see: is it 
possible to switch without any side-effect or complication?
