Time to buy a bigger hard drive? :)

Actually, I suspect PostGIS will probably cope quite well (speed wise) 
since it is a spacial database and should be able to cheaply select 
contours within the requested region.  Tiles which contain a lot of 
contours will be much slower to render than flatter areas though.
