Honestly, I wouldn’t use non-keyed archiving anymore these days. Either you need performance so badly that you create your own file format (or use something specialized for a particular need, like sqlite), or you use keyed archiving. It’s convenient, already debugged, and flexible. Premature optimization is the root of all evil.
