We have a reasonably high write component in our system so we thought we'd go straight for HDB. From my fairly limited reading, I get the impression that HDB >= BDB, although I've seen nothing criticising HDB comparative to BDB. Is it something we should also consider? For what reasons?

1.3GB, 800k entries in one database. No glue or other overlays.

Bingo! Adding the idlcachesize made a world of difference, thanks! I didn't check that man page so never realised the index caching config directive had changed. I've followed the 3x rule and it's super-speedy now.
Thanks Buchan
