I did try that but gave up when it got very unwieldy. Mind you that was nearly a year ago before btree folders and I knew what the heck I was actually doing in Zope.

different way than what I would've done (his method is way superior), so we're not ending up adding all addresses as Zope Objects.
Oh well. Does anyone else have any setups that store truly massive (50k, 100k, 1M, you know, *lots*) numbers of objects? Preferably stored in a BTree of some sort (ZPatterns Rack, BTree folder, etc.). the objects can be simple ZClasses, or almost anything else. I'm trying to find out of there is a point where you start getting non-linear performance penalties for additional objects (storing, retreiving, or indexing).
Meanwhile Erik, what approach *did* your programmer take?
Therefore, I don't have any benchmark tests available. We are going to transfer some 10GB of data at a later stage though (within a month), and that could result in some tests being done - if so, I'll send you an email. :-)
I'll look forward to it.
