I'm in no hurry to deprecate back-bdb, and back-hdb's initial performance is 
heavily dependent on priming its IDL cache. It's a tossup - back-bdb with no 
subtree renames but less cache sensitivity, or back-hdb with full directory 
semantics and more cache sensitivity. I suspect we'll be carrying both for a 
long time, because of this tradeoff.
