Generally "doing it TTW" and storing it in the ZODB would not be the problem. 
The problem would be product instances that have internal recursive 
references to persistent objects. (Say that 3 time fast)

The FileStorage pack code deals with this by creating a dict of the oids that 
have been iterated so that the same oid is not iterated twice. I'm not sure 
about ZEO tho...
