Well, since you are experimenting,
you might also test to see if
writing and reading that data to
custom props of the stack is even faster than fields.
We would be interested in your results,
as I am considering some web apps that will
rely also on saving data which I do now via
text files but am also considering moving
to the stack model as the data "container"
(easier to administrate/maintain a single object/file...)
