The power of Title. An experiment & a Q?

If you’re doing this to shave time off of the import process, or for any other efficiency-related motivation, I’m skeptical that it’s worth the tradeoff in terms of real information lost (especially modification timestamp, which helps tremendously with troubleshooting).

I’ve done a lot of tiddler-generation from external sources. For no obvious reason, I used to include created and modified timestamps and ensured that they were generated in an appropriate order. It took @pmario pointing out that I was simply wasting space for no reason for me to stop this behavior.

@pmario

I think, you could reduce the size by 2MB if you remove the created and modified fields. They do not really have any value.

Over a lot of tiddlers, these things do add up.
