In fact, you were mentioning that inserting into the middle is slow, but
that sequential adding to the end is good, but in fact, heap already
does this, doesn't it? I guess if you only add occasionally, it is OK.
Also, our no-over-write table structure had a tendency to mess up that
ordering because updated rows do not go into the same place as the
original row.
