Thanks Dean.  We are starting off with about 3400 objects and will be
growing from there, but not at a rapid pace.  Wow, only realized it
now.  Those objects are math lessons created over the last 8 years.
Quite a collection.  :-)  Oh, and for those wondering, I'm not fully
populating all 3400+ objects, they only contain enough information to
appear in a treeview. A proxy pattern is used to populate each object
only when needed.
