[Zope-dev] Folderish or SimpleItem object types for structural content

That will be true, but I was wondering where to draw the line,  for 
example with perfomance issues. All the objects will be in a ZCatalog, 
to allow searching for example. But one 'ObjectManager' step less in the 
choice what to do with the products results in much less objects in the 
catalog. The estimation about the amount of objects, with only the leave 
nodes as 'SimpleItem' objects will be 30.000. I never had so many 
objects in a ZODB, that's why I'm asking this, but as your answer 
suggests it's still the preferred way.

Thanks for the comments!
