Why do you put "a little" in #1?  In my app, I use some transient
attributes to store attributes that take many MB.  That's a substantial
savings not to store them on disk.

I sense that you dislike transient attributes. :)  FWIW, I find I use
them rarely, for many of the reasons you've sited in this thread.
