Flat file generation and maintenance would be foolish at this stage. Seperating out the individual data sets purely for api to be served by different clusters with server side caching may fit the bill - but tbh if this isn't happening already I'll be shocked. On Sep 7, 5:40 am, Jesse Stay

SUP will not work for Twitter or any other service that deals with very large data sets. In essence, a Twitter SUP feed would be one JSON array of all the Twitter users who have posted a status update in the past 60 seconds. a) The SUP feed will consistently contain a few million array entries.
