Yes, but if no parts were missing or if one was not interested in that 
post, one would never have to open it.  Either way one would eliminate 
100+ posts from the list for each set of posts (say an iso).When you are 
talking about groups like a.b.dvd that is a huge reduction. It should 
also shorten the sort time (just sort the storage tokens not each 
individual post).
