I expect cPickle or even pickle are pretty fast, and the config.pck is
a fairly straightforward data structure, isn't it?  Not deeply
recursive or a complicated graph.  One experiment would be to create a
list with, say, 100,000 random foo at example.com addresses and benchmark
how much time it takes to unpickle it.  I'll try to do that tomorrow
on a real computer (not this laptop).
