Is there a way you can do that without using Storable? If not, maybe
you should look at partitioning your data more, so that only the parts
you really need for a given request are loaded and saved.
I'm pleased to see people using IPC::MM, since I bugged Arthur to put it
on CPAN. However, if it doesn't work for you there are other options
such as BerkeleyDB (not DB_File) which should provide a similar level of
performance.
