Ok. I see what you're getting at now. The table was very helpful. This is a really unique solution among the ones I've seen so far. Once I get this module finished, I think I may go back and do benchmarks between my chosen solution (the one involving granularity-based marks and from those, incremental on-off logs) and this one. If I do, I'll letcha know how they come out. If these logs you've thought up were separated somehow (by day into files, or something) the seek time wouldn't be too bad at all.

My officemate suggested last night that a tree-based system might be devised that could do any search in less than N time. We didn't get it quite worked out, but I'm gonna keep at it and see what I can come up with.
