You've got a ways to go yet, I think... when you start reaching 1+ GB,
you might want to consider switching to another kind of storage in
order to conserve RAM, or putting things on the filesystem.

Currently, Data.fs is about 300 MB in size.  The site is running on a
Sun Netra X1 (400 MHz UltraSparc IIe) with 512 MB of RAM.
