Comment:

 Running under `perf` several times, and using `-Og -g` builds of grass7
 and gdal, it seems that somewhere between 30-40% of the execution time is
 happening in Python or the shell. That seems odd, but I'm ignorant...

 Additionally, it seems that grass is sending a query for **every** write
 to the DB, **synchronously**, instead of either doing the DB IO in another
 thread. That seems a poor use of multicored systems.
