SoftHsm create a file each time it set new attribute

[tomeravi]

Whenever SoftHsm needs to write object to file system , each SetAttributes cause to open new file and write all current attributes + the new one .
This is very wasteful .

This behaviour is by design; in most typical PKCS #11 applications, attributes are set when an object is created but are seldom modified very frequently. Therefore, it does not make sense to optimise this code path, since it is unlikely that objects are modified at a high rate. Unless you have a specific use case that requires high frequency changes to PKCS #11 object attributes that would warrant optimising this behaviour, we have no plans to change this.
