Internet may have killed the prospect of making a living as an author "the traditional way", but it allows other ways. Many artists makes a living out of Patreon. According to them [1], there are people that made $150k+ in a year

Not that it makes much difference on the comparison, but the Amstrad PC1512 [1] was a Personal Computer based on an Intel 8086 chip, you're probably confusing it with Amstrad CPC [2] which was a family of home computers based on the Z8

I was thinking more about performance than space. If you hit the disk for every recursive call (not sure if it is the case, I can't read COBOL) the performance is probably going to be terrible even if the files are memory mapped. Optim

What database are you using? Oracle [1] and MySQL [2] for example let you embed hints in the query in order to change the execution plan. I think that PostreSQL doesn't have such a feature though (at least it did not a few years ago).
