Hmm, Carl there are OO-databases out there, who gives you the chance (name it feature) to define your own low-level-storage design (in "prewrite" and "postread" methods) to improve speed. Even in this "totally" OO-environments (Smalltal and Versant) you may change the conversions of object representation to persistent representation.
This may also be a need for multiple-language OO solutions ...
Actually this is nothing more or less than changing the design of your table ....
