That would work, however I just dont think that fits neatly into the ZODB in any way since all objects are appended.
Small confusion here: "ZODB" is a higher-level abstraction than "FileStorage"; it is quite feasible to have one or more storages inside your Zope which are "packless" / "undo-less", and which then have the space efficiencies you are looking for (often at a non-trivial time cost).
