For the second, I created them like so:
`for i in {1..20}; do sqlite-generate db$i.db --tables ${i}00 --rows 100,2000 --columns 5,100 --pks 0 --fks 0; done`

This was for deciding whether to use lots of small DBs or to group things into a smaller number of bigger DBs. The second strategy wins.

By simply persisting the `_internal` DB to disk, I was able to avoid most of the performance issues I was experiencing previously. (To do this, I changed the `datasette/internal_db.py:init_internal_db` creates to if not exists, and changed the `_internal` DB instantiation in `datasette/app.py:Datasette.__init__` to a path with `is_mutable=True`.) Super rough, but the pages now load so I can continue testing ideas.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",642572841,

- DB/table/row counts (as discussed above). This isn't too bad if the DBs are actually above the MAX limit check.
- Populating the internal DB. On first load of a giant set of DBs, it can take 10-20 mins to populate. By altering datasette and persisting the internal DB to disk, this problem is vastly improved, but I'm sure this will cause problems elsewhere.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",642572841,

All other pages seem to work with lots of DBs except the home page, which absolutely tanks. Would be willing to put some work into this, if there's been any kind of progress on concepts on how this ought to work.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",642572841,
