Making a local copy of chain and moving the structure outside

Thanks very much for helping with these measurements! -- Andrei
Just some more numbers:
On the version with the local chain which is 5.5MB
# strings test.local_choose|wc -l
4170
# strings test.local_choose|wc -c
5194012
Which mean that of the 5.5MB total binary size 4.95MB are
strings.
Inspecting the content of the strings over 98% are symbol names.
Is there a way to not have all the symbol names as strings even
after the binary was stripped?
I think that some compression for the symbol names is a good idea.
I agree though that a O(n) or better for the voldemort types is
also needed.
