Except that eventually you'll find you lose a write when things go down because the page cache is write behind. So you start issuing fsync calls. Then one day you'll find yourself with a WAL and buffer pool wondering why you didn't just start with sqlite instead.
I had recently learned about using image pyramids[1] in conjunction with template matching algorithms like SAD to do simple and efficient object recognition, it was quite fun.
I'm actually not all that opposed to some of these features, but the way it's implemented is so clunky. The UI make it feel like a half baked browser extension.
