To put actual numbers to this, I did simulations of point to point routes using the same algorithm that I think is being used in Dijjer (the one described in my thesis, with 20 shortcuts, but without using "local" links):

I let this simulation run further, and here are the results the next results:

Run size: 1024000
(474 of 10000 successful: 0.0474)
(Mean Steps: 471.88397)

This means that the network with 20 links undergoes a phase transition between 500 thousand and one million nodes, after which it doesn't work at all (this behavior isn't surprising). So if the network should grow to over half a million nodes, you definitely need more than 20 edges (and caching won't help).
