I think IndexedDB implementations greatly differ in supported browsers? We can consult Parashuram from Microsoft, who's been active in driving IndexedDB efforts.

We can look at a proposed solution by Zakas - http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2012/04/25/the-performance-of-localstorage-revisited/ http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2012/03/07/in-defense-of-localstorage/
