, an index is built of every object inside the ZODB so it that can call it again later, effectively it reads through the entire DB.
With FileStorage, This only happens if zope is not shut down cleanly.
A clean shut down will leave a var/Data.fs.index file. On the next startup it loads this index if it is present, or scans the whole Data.fs if it is not.
The other thing that occurred to me.... this indexing time would depend on the number of objects, not their size, so it should be the same for the internally-stored mp3 and an hypothetical externally-stored mp3 with internal meta...
