In your test setup, you commit the transaction and close the connection. This means that when you iterate through the edges, not only do you load buckets, but for each item in the bucket, you load an additional persistent object, namely the `PersistentList`. This doesn't happen when you persist a Python list. In that case, the list is simply persisted right into the bucket data. This makes the buckets take up more space, but you need less reads from disk which makes the whole thing go a lot faster. Note that once you've loaded all the `PersistentList` objects, iterating again should go much faster because it's now all in memory. \malthe _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see http://zodb.org/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org https://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
