Okey dokey, just a suggestion. I have heard people talk about large ZOBD's
but once I go over a 10,000 object mark I just find a RDBMS easier myself.
Go for it good luck!

Mostly starting and stopping Zope, the 2gb limit (which can be avoided),
pulling objects back out with complicated queries are my biggest gripes.
