Well,

it isn't soo slow.

objectIds() gets it's information straight from a dictionary, so this is 
quite fast.
OTOH (and perhaps you thought of that), objectValues() is slow compared 
to objectIds(), because it wakes up every object in that container.

If speed is a concern, it might also possible to use a btree folder, but 
I'm not quite sure if it would help in this situation.
