Currently the memory impl. is not much faster - especially on smaller 
models it can even be smaller as currently it has to be bootstraped each 
time the MDR starts. We are planning on improving it to enable 
serialization of booted state of it.
But it should definitely be used when you often load and delete data - 
i.e. you import the model, do something with it and then you drop it 
from the MDR. This is because the btree impl. is quite ineffective in 
freeing unused storage space and thus the storage file could grow quickly.
