Rev as memory-resident database

hi,
I stumbled upon an old /. article just recently..
http://slashdot.org/features/01/05/03/1434242.shtml
.. "An OODBMS is thus a full scale object oriented development environment
as well as a database management system."
That of course made me think of rev but I've also been thinking about more
about using rev as my standard database system.. on 32-bit machines that's
4G (realistically probably 2-3G) of memory space. For the sort of systems
i'm building that's quite a bit, and of course old info can be archived etc
With memory so cheap these days the idea of a rev combo server/database
seems quite feasible..
Memory-resident should mean quick access .. i mean you do away with all the
complications and extra plumbing needed to plug into external databases.
Has anyone actually tested rev performance on a high memory machine?
Having dreams at the moment of decking out a 64-bit linux machine with some
G-sticks :)
regards
alex
