Here are some things to consider with FileStorage:
- There is a small fixed per-object memory cost when using FileStorage. This is due to the in-memory index that FileStorage uses to keep track of object record locations.
The per-object overhead in FileStorage could be addressed with more efficient indexing data structures, or with some mechanism, like dbm or Berkeley DB files to store the index.
This problem has just come onto my radar for my current project (pending some performance tests later this week). Is anyone else looking at this and would care to share some effort? Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
