I had similar effects, what made me work on a compressed database
(see older messages). Due to time limits, I will not get ready
before 1.6.a1 is out. And then quite a lot of other changes
will be necessary by Marc, since the API changes quite much.
But it will definately be a less than 20 KB module, proven.
