Google Summer Of Code, faq:
Title "Summer Of Code" came from Summer Of Love. Firstly in 2005 year, google start GSoC program with 2 000 000 $ that was paid to students and mentors on this project.
Current budget is 5 000 000 $ for one thousand student from over the world. Students works on 150 different projects. It is about 85 percents successfully finished.
One student can get 4500 $ (500$ go to mentor). If you have time use it. It really works. Author said that he had got 9 000$ using 2008, 2009 GSoC.


Some information about plugins for Compiz.
Current 0.8 version ( pure C) do not have documentation and code base looks awful (author opinion). There is no API description or any manuals to it.
But 0.9 version comes with C  , it have much better interface. Doxygen was added and amount of documentation grows. There is a lot of problems with migration and possibility to increase speed.

First try is to normalize your data. Second try is to denormalize your data and only after that we start to think… What we should really do?
If you have to provide really good performance. This is a chance to change something new.
Try  to use Cassandra (NoSQL) solution.
The most exiting thing here is really simple data model. Select do not have any dependencies from data amount.
Cassandra is the Facebook project that firstly was used to make user-search engine faster.
