No, there are no long strings, their all very very short. The only thing stored in there is:

local varDefaults = {
-- trait table, holds a table for players name, then a table for each 
-- researchLineIndex (as needed) and that contains the lineIndex, if true they know it.
   KnownTraitTable = {
       [PlayerName] = {
          [ResearchLineIndex] = {
              [LineIndex]  = true,              
          },
      },
   },
 
-- holds recipeResultItemLinks of recipes under a table named after the player
    KnownRecipeTable = {},
           [PlayerName] = {                                  
                      [1] = <copy of recipe result item link>,
                      [2] = RecipeResultItemLink2,          
            },
-- holds a list of player names who have logged in, so it knows who it has gathered info about
    PlayerNames = {
                  [<playername>] = true,
        },
}
local varDefaults = {
    KnownTraitTable = {},
    KnownRecipeTable = {},
    PlayerNames = {},
}
        ASV.KnownTraitTable[sPlayerName][_iCraftingSkillType][_iResearchLineIndex][_iTraitIndex] = true
