Comment(by olly):

 Brass already uses less memory than chert does, but there's scope for
 further improvement.

 In some cases, we can just flush the data we want to read, then read it
 from disk as we would if it hadn't been modified at all.  Brass allows
 flushing changes for a single term, which makes this more feasible.
