Don't worry. :-)  I think when the mind studies something very hard and 
creates something from it, the form in which the mind first comprehends 
the creation is not well adapted to expression.  A certain degree of 
unfamiliarity is then required to understand the concepts in a way that 
can be expressed.  This doesn't mean anything is really forgotten, just 
"shelved away" for a while.

There is virtually no optimization right now.  There are a lot of things 
we could do, although FileStorage is known to be *very* fast, and it's 
unlikely that anything that uses SQL can gain quite the same 
performance.  But we can do better than we're doing now.
