Like I said this is bogus since the index-pack is throttled by the network making this overhead a non issue in real life. And like I said there should _not_ be such a memory usage difference which is probably showing potential problems *elsewhere*. > I bet that what I see as a 7% slowdown will be much bigger for you, just > because the negative lookups will be all that much more expensive when you > have tons of objects. And I bet your newton-raphson lookup idea would shine and bring that overhead down considerably in that case.
