Bug description:
The attached script is  creating a log with ~49k events.
In the constructor of ZeitgeistEngine we need to search for the minimum and maximum event id. In the script I'm doing two different ways of getting these values:

Our current query:
SELECT MIN(id), MAX(id) FROM event
-> this is not using the event index, and takes about 0.096 secunds for me

do the same in two queries:
SELECT MIN(id) FROM event    +    SELECT MAX(id) FROM event
-> both queries are using the index, and together they take about 0.003 for me

I suggest changing the one query into two to get some speedups.
