Are you sure it works like this?
Because, as far as I know, ETS data resides in a separate chunk of memory.
Is the idea that ETS will only contain references to original shared
binary, but not the binary itself?
Have you checked / measured that it really works that way and not copying
whole database to / from ETS for each lookup?
