Hmmm... Users are unhappy if it's unstable.  Users are unhappy if
it's too stable...

Xastir doesn't really create any temp tables.  It's all kept in
memory.  The info is usually kept in linked lists of some type,
sometimes in hash tables or sometimes just hash tables that are
shortcuts into the linked lists.

Regarding the last question, you could create things in Perl5 that
would give you the information you're after, and could write HTML or
TEXT files as output for perusing with a web browser.  I've done
rather a lot of these myself.
