Is there any way to have quipu *not* load everything into memory.  I'd
like to have a large number of entries (in the thousands), but my
machine only has 32MB ram.  I realize the performance hit in query time,
but it's unrealistic for me to spread this across multiple machines.
Also, can anyone comment on other X.500 implementations and how they
handle large (really huge) directories.  thanks.
