That said, the current FileStorage (the default used with Zope) has a memory resident index which grows linearly with the number of objects in your database. This will consume a lot of memory if you have millions of objects (some thing like 12-20 bytes per object). I am actually currently working on a solution to this though...
Interesting. Anything public?
Not yet... it will be initially an alternate implementation of FileStorage that has an index that is not memory resident. The format of Data.fs would be unchanged, but the index file is completely different. I am planning to write an initial implementation soon to gauge the memory/performance tradeoff and see if my idea is worthwhile in general ;^) -Casey
