No, they can handle the load so far as efficiency is concerned, but the algorithm can't handle the load - and no amount of performance tweaking will change that. > Disk space is cheap, I don't see much reason for nodes not to cache > everything they can get their hands on.

In this case, you are - you have missed the point.
