I'm still not convinced that this will result in any gain, because the
overhead of bookkeeping and swapping will also be quite large.
Do you have any statistics on value_string lengths?
Also, if we want to change things, then maybe putting things into a
more efficient data structure like trees might be a solution. That way,
we could leave the arrays as is and then just call a function
treefromvaluestring(value_string) and use that instead.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
