I'm not 100% confident with that last point (memory). Certainly more memory
will give more performance much of the time. With the Bloom filters
optimisation, we will need a few megs (~ 3-7) per 100GB of queued data, but
we can indicate to the user if they have too much queued for their memory
size.
