The problem with this is the problem in AI of memorization. If there's 1000 keys that are commonly requested, and a node has rtMaxNodes=1000, then it can just memorize the "answers"=routes for each key, and never have to do any of the kind of optimization or adaptation that the network needs to adapt. Nodes need to route suboptimally sometimes so that they can find out about paths that are better than their data indicated. That being said, we can't go the other extreme and use only 2 nodes. Our current default of 100 is reasonable.
