:-D I really, really wish I could have done that too. It would make managing instances a lot easier. It might just be trading curses though. WO can be a memory hog because it keeps all this stuff in memory. Dump it in the database, and maybe WO becomes a cpu hog, serializing and deserializing all those objects.
