That shouldn't be a problem... you can get away with a few MB befire you'll
notice any load problem even on a smallish machine.  It's 10s and 100s of MB
that start to scale badly.

The only other thing I can think of is an old sserver problem that was fixed a
few versions ago.  The current devel version is even more bulletproof so I can
merge those changes into the release if it's still causing a problem.

Atomic commits don't work particularly well...  They'll not be needed soon,
though (hopefully).
