That can become a concern as well indeed.

And that brings me back to the original subject of this thread, and makes me
curious about DGD/MP with a dbm that supports nested atomic transactions. It
would provide a way to deal with rollback and somewhat efficient disk storage
for data that you don't want to keep inside the mud. Hmmmmm.. when can I get
my hands dirty with that, Felix? :)
