I thought you argued that string time stamps use too much memory and disk
space? Isn't it faster to scan integers than strings?
My thought on the time stamps was to keep the time_t integer (wherever) and
just convert it to a string when needed (probably rarely). Is there a
performance hit to attaching pointers to objects?
