Another interesting side effect of changing from content-based addressing to location-based addressing is that switching from 7-byte keys to 2025-character keys for 3.5 million entries would expand the database size from 24.5 MB to about 7.09 GB—an increase of roughly 7.06 GB!

So just to be clear, it’s not as bad as the OP in this thread, this is just a worst case scenario. With some additional analysis I did today, its closer to around ~5x the memory requirements of my pod, which would roughly go from ~22MB to ~120MB or so, probably a bit more in practise. But this is still a significant increase in memory. The on-disk requirements would also increase by around ~5x as well on average going from ~12GB to about ~60GB at current archive size.
