Well, it's all in-memory, and to be honest it's hardly what I'd
call 'massive' just yet. However really the credit lies with the
kick-ass system we run on; I'm not sure what it is, actually, since I've
never actually seen it, but the mud can do a clean (complete) compile
in about 20 seconds, as opposed to over an hour on my PC at home.
So compared to that, booting a little db and processing a bunch of
start-up events is like nothing. :)
