Hi Colin : so... who's first : the egg or the chicken ? (frenchism
suspected)

Because an ORM can't be achieved without persistency (or we will get
awful response times...)

I'm in favor of doing one step after the other, and ORM is the step #2,
after persistancy that is the #1.
IMO, if you disagree, pls argue & convince me.
