Once upon a time we did save Physical prims if they stopped, which
seemed a reasonable approach to take.  That seems to be commented out in
the database drivers I've seen.

Another approach would be figuring out if they went a certain amount of
distance prior to being saved, though there would be a bit more overhead
there.

I do agree, not tracking physical objects at all in the persistence
stores seems like a bad idea.
