This might be your problem, you need to use a PersistentDict object if
you want each record to be an individual entry in the database. If you
use a normal python dict aka {} you will need to mess about with
_p_changed and you will store a complete copy of the parent object on
every database commit - which sounds like the situation you're
describing.
