Right. But per device it's a much smaller number. So searching through an
(in memory) list of profile names and attributes (that may have been extracted
from the configuration file, or the profile itself), to find the best
match to the current printer configuration amongst a dozen profiles,
should take a fraction of a micro second, even for a linear search.

Given a complicated enough matching criteria, and an SQL query probably
won't help anyway.
