It updates the object in the ZODB. Whether that causes a copy to be made,
depends on the underlying storage. FileStorage makes copies,
BerkeleyStorage (at least Ty's first implementation thereof) does not.

There are a lot of things you'd have to tinker with to get that behavior.
You would probably be better off just using a storage that doesn't make
copies, or using ZPatterns to store selected attributes in such a storage
(such as a differently-backed ZODB, the filesystem, or an SQL or LDAP
database).
