Hi Michel

As far as I can see the Zodb is invoked each and every time you start your
program. Doesn't that give some kind of startup penalty?

In Zope the Zodb is started as a deamon and thus runs constantly withour
startup penalty.

I am thinking of using Zodb in an asp project, but if I have to reload the
database every time it will probably be to slow for my own good.

Whou couldn't I just as easily use marshal or pickle then.

And that would really be a pitty as I have a small internal project comming,
where nobody will nag me about the technology ;-) So it would be great for a
tryout project.
