CF is not as fast as a hard drive, from what I can find.  Especially
on writes, which may not matter here.   One thing peewee does in
this configuration (compressed ramdisk on memory card) on startup 
is to copy the filesystem into RAM, which can take a few seconds.

It ought to be enough.  Peewee is very small, so the question
becomes, "how big is MySQL + perl ?"  I'd like to know
that myself for future planning.
