Okay, so it's more that having a good in-memory dataset would be helpful here? 
I'm just trying to establish if you see the in-memory dataset improvement as 
_blocking_ models-as-views or just that models-as-views would be worth more and 
work better accompanied by a better in-memory dataset.

Cool. So we already have that laziness in hand in the form of GraphView.
