The SKS settings available are:

  -pagesize                        Pagesize in bytes for key db
  -cache                           Cache size in megs for key db
  -ptree_pagesize                  Pagesize in bytes for prefix tree db
  -ptree_cache                     Cache size in megs for prefix tree db

Note that the -pagesize (-ptree_pagesize) options have to be set at
the time the KDB (PTree) databases are built. Also see
<http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/sks-devel/2009-08/msg00058.html>
on a related subject.

You can also do some more tuning by using a DB_CONFIG file in your KDB
(PTree) directory:
