If you use blocked views and check out the latest code from CVS, you will see.
If you don't, let me just say that blocked views are now a good option for very large views. Performance benefits are particularly good for views with many properties, and when traversing them sequentially.
To switch to using blocked views, change code which looks like:
vw = store.getas("vw[...]")
to
vm = store.getas("vw[_B[...]]").blocked()
You'll also need to reload data, this change won't convert it for you.With a somewhat lower raw access performance, you'll get much more scalable views (millions of rows and more), faster commits, and smaller datafiles.
There's no need to switch over every view - it's still a trade-off. If your views are rarely modified, or contain no strings, or are always accessed in random order (hash maps), then flat is often still better. But it's there if you want it.
