I’ve thought about sqlite and decided against it mostly due to increased memory footprint - the string caching Iris uses would not have worked.

As for releasing before 3.10 - that is unlikely to happen. Iris is written in ObjectiveC++ which would require extra hacks to work with 3.9 and has many other dependencies...
