    Actually, I think in Cayenne 3 that it'll automatically pull an object
    into the DataContext if it exists in another DataContext. My memory
    is a bit rusty, though, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I am
    wrong. But in a nutshell, make a separate/global DataContext for your
    small tables and cache the data in it.
