    They don't bother to pack data on disk or in mem, and their
    representations of data structures and the like are more bloated than
    those which MOO has (actually, its more probable that its bloated simply
    because its emulating MOO).

    I'm not sure if MOO does packing either, although I know cold packs data
    on disk.
