Novamente can run on a distributed network of machines, using both RAM
and disk for memory; hence in principle it has no "limits of storage"
except those imposed by cost...
Of course there are limitations in terms of RAM access time and
distributed processing overhead, but these are the familiar ones and
not specific to Novamente

Does Novamate look for what is there(data mining) as well as what is not
there?
How big is Novamate?
Reading/Writing data can result in I/O bound systems.
