Pardon me, I should have said more. :)
When the size of the db is larger than the cashe weird things (loss of changes)
start to happen. Binary storage and retreival has been seen to have problems
such as loosing parameters and entire objects even.
match_regexp() returns almsot entirely useless data. If there was a match it
returns a list of [start, len], but being broken, the elements are either
[0, 0] in the case of a matching subexpression, or [0, -something] for unused
subexpressions.
Try it out yourself. :)
