How about using Apple's SearchKit <a href="http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/SearchKitConcepts/searchKit_concepts/chapter_3_section_3.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40002844-mrj-SW1" rel="nofollow">text summarizing</a> on the article body, and storing that in the database too. It'd be more compact (I think the amount kept is configurable) but would give you some searchable content in the database. “So I modified Wombat to keep the headers in the database, but write the article to an external file.”

It's not thread safe. If you want to do this, you have to completely lock it (which means that no other threads can do anything at all to it). The altnernative is to have a different MOC for each thread - when a thread is done doing it's thing, save all the changes and update the other MOCs. -blake I assume you’ve figured this out by now, but you should absolutely not use a single ManagedObjectContext from multiple threads.
