But this would still mean that every unsure you bothered to hit the
"recover" or "delete" button on would require writing the 2MB pickle.

I believe we can afford this hit with a bsddb style database.

And requiring bsddb3 to be installed is too much of a burden?

But yeah, either way, having the code not flush-on-train for pickles isn't
that big of a deal.
