In the platform. The performance of some of the protocol boot services
could depend on that representation.

But, maybe the shell could be optimized too (I haven't looked at the
code). I can imagine that for cross-referencing various things it uses
O(n^2) nested loops or something similar, even if state is not
maintained longer than a command's execution.
