Genesis uses a disk-based database. A non-persist flag would involve 
somehow forcing it to be kept in cache, rather than being written to 
disk. This means that after a while you'd run out of cache space. The 
disk-based index will probably cause even more trouble. Not to 
mention the parents/children lists.

I'm afraid the only sensible thing to do is delete all non-persistent 
objects at server startup, which is something you can do easily from 
within the db, without any addition to Genesis. (it's possible 
something like this is already there - I'm not very familiar yet with 
all the details of ColdCore)
