    Xrm is really a good piece of code.

Actually, I think the use of Quarks was a major design bug.

    Sure, I can play games and optimize my Xrm definition(s)
    to storage requirements.  But do I want to ?  Do I have to ?

You don't want to.  We don't want to either, but we probably will.

    I believe there are ways to improve the Xrm storage efficiency,  and  thus
    performance  on  real,  limited physical memory systems. Without having to
    sacrifize performance.

Yes, we've already been considering possibilities.
