2) query result caching
modules are welcome to use the cache_set/cache_get API for this. forum.module used to o this, but it was removed when node_access went in. this really makes sense only for expensive queries that aren't personalized and i can't think of any of those in core right now.
I'm just thinking per run. I thought db_query already did that... But looking at the code in head it doesn't... I would at the least like to see some form of transaction support, and support for master/slave database clustering and replication. I should probably stand down from this discussion as won't be implementing anything related to the db abstraction until the file handling is is somewhat better than palatable.
