> If you have a machine with a gig of ram, losing 4MB is REALLY not a big > deal. Er. Allow me to point out that you need to allow the database software to wire that ram for it to even be of any value, because what I'm concerned with here is the latency. Bandwidth can always be increased; getting down the latency and the interruptions in continous (non-random) access is a concern of mine, and indirection does not help this. Besides, managing extants is actually easier, unless you want to use a B+-tree approach, like HPFS does.
