Whoops, here we go again. I have always whenever possible avoided the use
of persistent fields because, if one adds a field to the datafile, one has
to remember to create the persistent field too. Now it looks as if this
policy is resulting in a speed penalty. How does the use of persistent
fields affect the size of the executable?
