Yes, but if you are using the same references to route the request then 
it doesn't matter whether the insert went in a sensible direction, the 
request will go in the same direction.

It is unlikely to fall out of the network in such a short space of time, 
and whether it is in a rediculous place routingwise won't make a 
difference if you are using the same set of references to route the 
request.

I don't disagree, but I don't see why this would have a significant 
effect if I insert some data, then request it shortly afterwards while 
ignoring my local cache - unless it just so happens that the node to 
which the insert was routed is rejecting queries.

Yeah, I see this on hawk too, but the question is: why?  Surely for every 
node generating requests, there is a new node to handle those requests.  
Even Frost now has dramatically reduced the rate at which it requests 
stuff.
