I've been reading the discussions on benchmarks of BTreeFolder verus
standard ObjectManager dict based folders.
I have a BTreeFolder w/ Customizer support that I'd like to include in
the DataSkinAddons package for its next release. I'll probably release a
LargeUI Folder w/ Customizer Support, that has the BTreeFolder UI
anyway.
However, I'm not sure whether to store the folder contents in a dict or
a BTree.
Are dictionaries or BTrees the way to go for folders with lots of
sub-objects?
Anyone tried any other benchmarks?
I *suppose* it could even be configurable:
How about this for an idea:
* Management interface uses the standard Folder interface when the
number of objects in the contents are less than a certain amount.
With more objects, it switches to the BTree Folder UI.
This number can be reconfigured as an attribute of the folder.
* You can switch between using a dict and a BTree to store the
sub-objects, on an instance-by-instance basis. The switch-over
will be slow, but it will be easier than changing the base-class
of existing instances.
Comments?
