That's exactly what Havoc said, except he used the word "schema" instead of
"data model."

Why do they need to be efficient?  No need to optimize stuff until it's
obviously too slow.  UniConf is pretty fast even with tens of thousands of
keys, and Havoc mentioned that a key failing of the GConf design was too
*much* attention to efficiency.

Note that you can always tack efficiency on later if needed by optimizing
the code.

So it seems that this discussion is repeating itself, again.

Have fun,
