Assuming an average of 10 linked entities per paper (high, > but some papers have 50 authors or so), you could easily see something like > 2000 (200 * 10) entity requests in a page. For now we will also have an own limit just for the entities access and that will be well below 500. I can see that there are some use cases that require accessing an immense amount of entities in one way or another, but that's not inside the scope of arbitrary access as it's implemented now. We will have a solution for that at some point (see also what Daniel said about lists, as that's kind of related), but that solution will not involve loading the whole entity (which is what arbitrary access is about right now) but rather be a more specialized access functionality (that would eg. only return Statements with a certain PropertyId from a list of Items).
