Just when scratch pads couldn't get any better...

• Unlimited size (within reason). You now have as much space as you would with a writeup. So whatever you'd like to keep on there, you can, and not be afraid of what's going to happen to your account with a scary buffer overflow.
• Faster. Your page loads should be faster all the way around. Because we've moved the scratch feature out of $VARS and to a separate table, you're not slugging up to 8K of extra characters with you in your Apache process (nor do you have to eval them to just load a page), so your individual page loads may be faster.
• More stable. Should something happen to your settings, which occasionally does happen (and I have a few restorations pending on this one). If that happens, this should be safe. For you edev folks, check out table scratch.
