I think what James means is that there's nothing between being able
to handle a small number of changes efficiently and the possibly very
inefficient full dump, even though in some cases (e.g. if you have a
large but fairly static collection of items which only change state,
but don't get created or destroyed all the time), a selective yet
scalable notification mechanism would be possible (as outlined in
previous messages in this thread).

But I'm not sure whether the scenario in question is sufficiently
close to real life to justify any optimization.
