I'm hitting the resource limits (ram) of my current machine and am
probing for different ways to improve this situation.  This seemed like
an idea worthy of bringing up on the list... but it sounds like it won't
gain me anything.

In response to another statement, I've found the XML import / export
(Via SMI) works great for Silva & SilvaNews for importing and exporting
fragments of a Silva instance.  So I'm not concerned about things being
"stuck" together.
