Hmm, oh well, my bad...
In that case it must just be that their pickled form is huge compared to
an int ;-)
They are incredibly expensive to unpickle since all

How come? Unpickling doesn't call __init__ and I don't see why the DWIM
magic would be needed anyway, since everything has already been parsed.
It's actually the list of PersistentMappings that is the problem. Once
that gets large (ie: a content object that's been around for a long
time) then everything that adds workflow history commits a new copy of
that list.
cheers,
