[Adium-devl] ByObject prefs suck

[Colin Barrett]

BDB wouldn't, since it's purely key/value. Although the openness of it  
is a bit dubious.

But yeah, that was the reason for not doing it -- I was just pointing  
out that if you're worried about perf, use a real database of some  
kind, not plists.

Honestly, I don't really think it's worth the effort to improve it,  
unless there's some clear profiling data to indicate it's a  
bottleneck. It's not a particularly great system, but it's okay. The  
[ByObject] prefs code could probably use some clean up though.
