I don't buy your scalability argument.

Try it.

Really. Get the mozilla import (450MB project), and clone it on a machine 
with half a gig of RAM or less.

Then, clone a couple of smaller archives that end up being 450MB 
_combined_, but clone them separately.

And watch the memory usage.

Do I understand you correctly that the problem is not the algorithmic
complexity but that you have to map the objects at once instead of map
them in small parts one after the other?
