[erlang-questions] Drawbacks to ordered_set

[Ulf Wiger (TN/EAB)]

I can think of only one: scalability.

Ordered sets are O(log N), so they will be a bit 
slower on very large data sets. Given the overhead of
using mnesia transactions, this is usually insignificant.

I practically always use ordered_set tables. (:
