Or you can use ImageSegments like SqueakMap does. There is a page
somewhere on the Swiki with a howto from me on that. The advantage is of
course that you only save/load the objects you want - and not the whole
image.

Or you can go for a more serious solution and use Magma or another OODB
like Omnibase or GOODS.
