(I&#39;ll continue working on the other part of that request, which can be dealt with \
separately, at some later point).

It adds a unit test to makes sure that saving UDSEntries to a QDataStream and \
re-loading them works as expected, and makes use of implicit sharing of QStrings in \
UDSEntryPrivate::load(QDataStream &amp;s, UDSEntry &amp;a) to reduce the memory usage \
of this class (which is the major consumer of memory in Dolphin and other \
applications that list the contents of large directory contents with KIO).

It caches the most recently loaded QString for each UDS field in a simple \
QVector&lt;QString&gt;. This works because sharable strings like, e.g., the user and \
the group, usually appear at the same position in the QDataStream when retrieving a \
large number of UDSEntries that have been stored by a kioslave.

Note that I had made an earlier attempt to achieve the same thing using a \
QHash&lt;uint, QString&gt; to look up the cached strings ( \
http://pastebin.kde.org/p52a24b49 ), but the QVector&lt;QString&gt;-based solution \
turns out to be faster.</pre>  </td>
