The postmodern backend is almost optimized for this use case, with its
globally synced cache.

clsql backend works as well.

bdb backend should work... I had some problems with BDB in this use
case, but that was some time ago so I don't know the current state.

Note that multiple image access is not tested in the elephant
testcases. There is code for testing this in the project grand-prix on
common-lisp.net
