That is true, but it should be pointed out that using that method of data
storage greatly reduces the size of the Omega Server database file.

I haven't found it a tedius process. It simply is necessary to correct the
intial bad tick and then reload affected charts.
It only becomes a big problem if someone who doesn't know what to do tries
to edit the wrong prices that follow instead of correcting the intial bad
value. That can create a terrible mess. Omega doesn't need a special
routine to fix the problem, they only need simple instructions.
