Architecture/design questions




I wasn't sure if this is the right group to post this
message. But I thought people in this group could  be
well equipped to answer my questions.

Anyway....

I'm new to the OODB world. I have recently started
looking into this technology and am very excited to
get into this. I just downloaded the latest release
and on my way towards the first example application
with OODB.

While I'm at it, I'm eager to know a few things about
Ozone. Here are the questions:

1. Does Ozone use Java serialization behind the
scenes? I heard somewhere that serialization will not
offer good performance. I've read other messages that
were archived and it seems like it scaled and
performed well. So how does Ozone get around it.

2. I also read somewhere that you could very easily
get into performance issues with OODB systems. One of
the possible reasons that I could think of are, 
trying to store and retrieve objects with complex
graphs( I mean too many nested objects ). So is there
a "best practices guide" or something like that, that
I could use to not get into trouble? Are there any
other factors that could result in poor performance?

3. Is there a comparision between OODBMS and RDBMS
hardware resource ( memory & CPU mainly ) consumption?

Can somebody suggest me a good online resource that I
could use to acquainted with OODBMS concepts?

Thanks in advance,
Praveen.
