thanks! it's very helpful! and just to combine the reply in one email:

"Please generate the fastmap data such that upon the very first attach 
fastmap can be used."

This is what I was thinking. Its doable, right? since in ubinize we have 
all data required for constructing fastmap.

 From all your discussions with Artem I figure we can expect quite a few 
changes to the fastmap implementation. Is the layout also going to 
change? I remember you mentioning such idea in one of the emails.


Thanks,
