Yup - but no longer true. Modern MySQL allows you to choose the backend DB
type - different SQL features for different backend choices.

However, I think when using a SQL DB backend for something like an IDS,
removing rollback functionality and gaining performance is absolutely A Good
Thing. My problem appears to be that ACID (or the Snort schema) just bangs
the hell out of the SQL backend - even with <1 million records... Hence my
questions about what else I could do to improve the performance of ACID
(e.g. more indices, different memory settings for MySQL)
