All the more reason for us to do as much of the troubleshooting as we
can!  My guess is that it is not anything big, maybe a regression since
this seems to have happened before, and if we can pinpoint it, it should
not be too difficult to fix it or get someone at OpenJDK to do so.

Well, it depends what you call serious.  I am sure that people with 
really big databases will use separate applications anyway.  For my 
purposes, with around 2000 records, base was perfectly adequate in terms 
of speed until OpenJDK-6b23.

Whether or not base moves away from HSQLDB in the future, in the mean 
time I think we need to get this one fixed and get base running as well 
as we can.
