Also the fastest loading, buffering, downloading etc?

The smallest should be (with quite a margin) SQLite. This is because there 
isn't so much filesystem overhead, as it's basically just one big file. 
Furthermore, it's compressed.

The fastest is one of the file formats, my guess is the GMapCatcher "native", 
as it requires less coordinate conversions.
The speed differences should be quite small on a modern hardware though.

Note: I haven't experimented with speed differences that much, so these are 
"sophisticated guesses".
