I don't think it will hurt, but of course you had a point about checking
these things before we implement.

Quite the contrary, extensive simulating is one my main goals for this
summer. And besides my employed work for Freenet Project, Scott and I have
comited ourselves to do simulating for our speech in DC in September (not
performance simulation, but it still means dusting off a simulator).

I'm still not sure. On the one hand it might help, on the other hand I
feel that diskspace is so much cheaper than bandwidth that it feels dumb
not to cache stuff. I'd feel better about a weighting system for where in
the store the data ends up...
