Oh well. Does anyone else have any setups that store truly
massive (50k, 100k, 1M, you know, *lots*) numbers of
objects? Preferably stored in a BTree of some sort
(ZPatterns Rack, BTree folder, etc.). the objects can be
simple ZClasses, or almost anything else. I'm trying to find
out of there is a point where you start getting non-linear
performance penalties for additional objects (storing,
retreiving, or indexing).

Meanwhile Erik, what approach *did* your programmer take?

I'll look forward to it.
