I have several fairly long arrays of records that I want to store to disk on a as needed basis, but I don't want to use a database.

Especially after reading that comparison between database speed and persistant objects that was recently floated.

I did look at the persistent objects library  in the Dmitrys Kazakov components library but I'm finding it difficult to understand what is going on there despite the large amount of documentation.

Are there any other examples out there using this library? I was thinking of a generic library using direct io to save on the index whenever the values are changed.

What do you guys think?
