In fact, I stopped using getRows(), as it is less performant, as I'm 
gonna loop through the rows again anyway at some point. I used getRows() 
for +60K fe_users (for an export module) and I got a memory_limit 
problem. After switching back to exec_SELECTquery and manually iterating 
over the DB result, it worked like a charm :).

However, I'd love to get more input from our DB (API) experts Masi, 
Xavier, Dmitry, if we should extend t3lib_db.

All the best,
Benni.
