[rucksack-devel] rucksack performance

Yes, that's basically right. In sql-speak (roughly), you would insert  
your rows and then create the index. or if doing a big bulk update,  
drop the index, do your inserts and then rebuild the index. I think  
that's what Arthur implied should happen here when you redefine the  
class to have the indexed slots, or not.
