The query functionality just adds some metadata search capabilities to
ViewVC.  Maybe you want to show all the commits that a particular user has
made to the repository.  Or all the commits between a certain range of
dates.  Or you want to find all the commits whose log message references
"issue 1423".  That kinda thing.

You pay a relatively small cpu penalty to populate the database (typically a
per-commit penalty, paid post-commit).  You pay whatever penalty is incurred
by the size of the database -- but its only metadata that's stored, not file
contents or anything like that.
