Another vaguely related change would be to store string and unicode objects in the pickler memo keyed as themselves rather than their object ids.

That wouldn't be difficult to do--i.e., simply add a type check in Pickler.memoize and another in Pickler.save(). But I am not sure if that would be a good idea, since you would end up hashing every string pickled. And, that would probably be expensive if you are pickling for long strings.
