I'm agree with Jordan, because I have his same problem.
If I have understood well the approach of BioPerl, it uses always this
method, for example loading data from a blast output file ( ref. speed
up parsing blast using tabular output ). I'll prefer to read and create
an object one by one, when the amount of data is huge.
I think that will be useful selecting the preferred approach.

What happend if I don't have the resources to load ALL data ? Processing
one object per time I have to worry about the resources needed by that
object.
