"regular" -> "record"

I don't think opening a resource database consumes any more dynamic heap
than opening a record database. However, every time you access a resource,
the system searches through all the open databases to find it. It can
presumably skip over record databases pretty quickly. :) The search stops as
soon as the resource is found, so this won't affect your app's resources
much, but it could have more effect on system resources. In practice, this
shouldn't be a concern unless you keep a *lot* of resource databases open.
