No, it will store all cached item data (payload) in files.
It will still keep all relational data, e.g. which folder contains which 
items, in the database. That's what a database is good at.

Right.
Post version 1.2 code has support for Postgres as well, though I think this 
requires a manually setup Postgres instance, much like using an external MySQL 
instance.
Haven't tried either yet so I can't comment on the process for such a setup.

Anyway, using a different database is orthogonal to storing cached item data 
in files. Though some databases might be better when only having to deal with 
small data blocks.
