The actual data is just 44 MB as an SQLite database, so this might
work indeed.  I had planned to use smaller pickles stored in an SQLite
database, but it seems that we can avoid that complexity.  There's
also enough room for growth; soler is not *that* starved on RAM.

YAML is evil.  Perhaps not in this context, but in general, it really
is.

I will try to keep that in mind.
