Well, what about the following: I saw some benchmarks
PHPLIB-DB vs. PEAR:DB where PHPLIB-DB was twice faster
than PEAR:DB. (Rumours said it can also be four times
faster) So, my question ist: when porting PHPLIB to
PEAR, I think it would be better that the PHPLIB package
uses its own DB abstraction class.

And, some things to think over: if PEAR:DB is really so
slow and PEAR gets installed with every PHP distribution
aftet typing "make install", I have in mind the thoughts
of people who think "Oh, PEAR is there, nice packages, let's
try" and who also think "We build nice applications which
should be a bit fast" may think "What? PEAR:DB is so slow?
Oh my god, PHP is such a kiddie language, let's use another
language where the DB abstraction is much faster".
