Not much in our case unfortunately, if you configure pgsql to run more
or less in memory, it does not give any boost:

cat >>
/usr/share/katello/install/puppet/modules/postgres/templates/postgresql.conf.erb
<<EOFPG
fsync=off
synchronous_commit=off
full_page_writes=off
bgwriter_lru_maxpages=0
EOFPG

Some time ago, I was trying also with sqlite3 in various modes (memory
only etc) and again, no boost. FYI

But correct me if I am wrong, we were already trying to get rid of
database in our unit tests and AFAIK it turned out we need to use it
because our orchestration layer which is hooked on the AR, right?
