I've suggested this before. The only thing is that viewing Freenet as a whole, 
it's better to make lots of requests (thus making nodes learn more about the 
network). From the point of view of an individual node operator, it's better to 
make fewer requests, thus making the whole process shorter for that specific 
set of requests.  I think this is one area where we must find a balance between 
what is good for the network and what is good for an individual user.
