I have not done any measurements yet. But tdb is essentially a hash table with
an arbitrary hash table size. The current default is to have 131 table entries.
It would be easy to expand 'net idmap restore' to use any arbitrary hash table
size upon table creation. We should be able to get O(1) access times with any
number of entries, maybe wasting some disk space.
