mnesia usage optimisation

[Chandrashekhar Mullaparthi]

But given that Luke's code runs as part of a transaction, he can't create a
table from within a transaction. If you can get away from being in a
transaction, you can probably use the mnesia:ets function...

Luke,

I think the problem is that indexes are built using a linear search
mechanism when you have many items with the same value.

You could get around this by creating a new table wherever you wish to store
more than 1 destination node against a single source node - store the name
of the new table against your source node instead of the actual
destinations, and store all the destinations in the new table.
