Hi Neil,

Durus looks interesting.  Do you have any background on why you went with a
custom solution for object persistence over ZEO/ZODB?   I'm assuming speed
and/or a simpler interface?

Also if anyone's interested I jotted down some notes a few months ago as I
tried to wrap my head around the different object persistence methods
available in python today.   Not sure if I got it all right so I welcome
feedback.
