Its a good idea. Actually, what should probably be done is a little thought about cache hit patterns and see if there's a "better" way to write objects to the disk rather than "all of them". I started chatting with a couple of people about this a couple of months ago but other studies got in the way. I'll add this to the big list of things to do after my exams. Thanks for the suggestion!
