Its a good idea. Actually, what should probably be done is a little thought
about cache hit patterns and see if there's a "better" way to write objects
to the disk rather than "all of them".

I started chatting with a couple of people about this a couple of months
ago but other studies got in the way. I'll add this to the big list of
things to do after my exams.

Thanks for the suggestion!
