A better (faster) format than PGN when searching for position from a 10+ million games database that will not hog your 4GB computer memory. I have been away from the computer chess scene for a while so not sure if such a format/application exist.

Chess Query Language

In fact could be useful for Swami and Dan in finding positions for their test suites
