Actually, you can.  You prioritize non-NSEC3 records, since thats a finite, 
identifiable, priority set, and cache the responses.  Thus if you have 10k 
valid names, each with 100 different possible responses, and have a max 1 
minute TTL on signatures, thats only 16k signatures/s in the absolute worst 
case, which you can do on a single, 16 core computer.
