AFAIU persisted_id() is called once for every reference to a persisten object rather than once for every persistent object. If there were 65 references to each of the 20000 objects you'd get 1.3 million calls to persistent_id(). Marius Gedminas -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
