There should be a relationship between bandwidth and store size. At a guess,
it's exponential, doubling the bandwidth can support a store 4 times larger.
Estimating this relationship would be valuable to the people running nodes.

Hmmm. Am I wrong to think there probably is an optimal store size for
each node?
My thinking is that as the store grows, the node draws more requests,
which at some point will exceed the node's ability to service them all
in a timely manner due to resource limits (probably bandwidth).
As the store grows larger, even more requests come in, causing the node
to service a shrinking proportion of the total number of requests
directed towards it, which has a negative impact on the network.
