That sounds much better than I expected - I thought it would use more
memory than that for the ID mapping. Is it doing that on disk now then?

Anyhow if that is all it needs then dev is probably fine. Spaetz should
be able to sort you out with an account if you want to try it.

That will let us see how much of the speed is down to latency - we can
then consider providing one or more reserved API daemons to see how
much that helps as well.
