Hmm that raises a question for me.

I haven't done a project that uses a database (be it sql or no sql) where the amount of deletes is comparable to the amount of inserts (and far larger than like tens per day, of course).

How does your average db server work with that, performance wise? Intuitively I'd think it's optimized more for inserts than for deletes, but of course I may be wrong.
