Hi 1)The README in the distribution mentions using Durus for upto a million objects? Is that number based on some empirical testing or observed problem with more than that number? Would you expect problems with a PersistentDict with say 450000 key/value pairs? 2) is there any intention or need at MEMS to implement BTrees like ZODB? Would anyone hazard a guess at how difficult/easy it would be? Jon
