How do you manage to get Zope to even respond with 30K objects in
one Folder?  You must be using boatloads of memory.

This does bring up an interesting question though.  A suggestion was
made earlier that it would be nice to have a BTree based folder type
to remove the limitations inherent in the current Folder data
structure, allowing the efficient placement of many objects in
such a BTree folder.  So the question is, if you do that, what
performance impact does acquisition have on such a large collection
of objects in one folder?
