Hi,

William Ray Wing:

I am not going to buy a new server. I can justify writing a lot of custom
code for that kind of money.

Besides, the time to actually load all the data into memory beforehand
would be prohibitive (so I'd still need a way to load referred data on
demand), and the update problem remains.
