Durus vs Zodb comparison

I've been thinking about using Durus in a (Twisted) project following a
posting by Jesus Cea to the Twisted-Python mailing list. I asked Jesus how
he'd compare Durus to Zodb. His response:

  http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2006-June/013372.html

I note with interest that A.M. Kuchling, author of the ZODB/ZEO programming
guide, is also active in Durus.

My main (initial) reason for considering using Durus is the availability of
Jesus' bsddb storage. I have a lot of confidence in bsdbd and no experience
with ZODB (so no basis for any strong opinion). Based on reading stuff
online I am worried that ZODB files may grow too rapidly and/or that it may
not do so well if a storage grows beyond 10-20Gb. I'm also interested in
hearing how Durus' ClientStorage compares to ZEO. Are people using Durus in
projects based on Twisted?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts, or comments on Jesus' response.

Terry Jones
