hi,
searching for solutions to this type of problem is a challenge and there are
many ways to solve it. give this site (http://highscalability.com) a
thorough read and you might find something.
again, i am with jan, try CouchDB and it might pay off to use a unix based
machine for stuff like that. i think you are trying to trick your OS to do
things it is not meant for. not going into flame wars about windows here but
a basic linux setup is really done in no time and gives you way more control
for an application that is "non standard" :-)

cheers
