Slow performance

[Todd Blanchard]

I already need it badly.

Even if the root collection isn't a MagmaSet - the first collection I  
want to add is.
So why doesn't that work?

Also, I've found that changing the root doesn't work.  The change  
doesn't save.  So I had to throw away the db and start over.
