cluster size does not affect performance that much. But the size of the object
cache (JVM heap size) and the dimension of the B-tree caches are very
important. http://www.ozone-db.org/documentation_main.html should help you to
get started with this. You should always try to adjust cache and table sizes so
that the _working set_ of your data is kept 'in cache'. That is, all objects
of your working set of data should fit in memory and the B-tree tableBufferSize
should be <= the number of objects in your working set.

No. This has nothing to do with ExternalDatabase or LocalDatabase. _All_
database objects are executed inside the server. To avoid to much network
traffic all the business logic that accesses the database objects should be
implemented in the database objects itself. You can compare this with EJB entity
and session beans.

I'm not sure if I understand you here. If A, B, C and D are database objects
(instance of OzoneObject) then you are _automaticalle working with proxies
rather than 'real' objects in the application code. The reference members
should be of the type of the remote interface of the database object (Car
instead of CarImpl).
