 Because you can *VERY QUICKLY* make a snapshot, even of a live

lock it while doing your own work and having it change under you, etc.
 
 Oh, I fully understand that part (the 'read' part).  That's exactly what 
attracted me to this solution to begin with.  It's the 'write' part that 
didn't really make a whole lot of sense, but that's apparently just because 
I'm not trying to use it as it's meant to be used.
