This would explain why creating the journal does not seem to take any time. But "strings" showed that there was a lot of stuff (at least lots of filenames) in it. Perhaps the journal is *created* as a blank file, and then some background process immediately begins to fill it? Anyway, whatever it does, it seems to be a very clever system.
