I am not sure the sql backend of elephant is up to date. It is largely
unmaintained, and will probably be dropped soon. I strongly suggest
either the BDB or Postmodern backend.

BDB is fast on a single computer, Postmodern is scalable across
threads, processes and computers.
The sql backend is actually neither.

Also, if you have downloaded from clbuild make sure that elephants
loads the real uffi.asd not the uffi.asd file in the cffi folder (see
older posts on the mailing list).

My guess is that it is the uffi problem.

I take this opportunity to submit a patch I tried to send earlier, it
detects this problem, intended for elephant-1.0

Hope this helps, even though it was not a direct answer to your question,
