I'm not sure this is needed, why duplicate this if it is already in the blockstore? If you're worried about hitting the repostore too oftne, then we can always put a cache of some sort in front?

I know this is an experiment, but we should be lazy with handling requests, so I would still put this behind some throttling mechanism, such as the asyncqueue.

Overall, I'm liking this direction very much. I think this might be close to being ussable. One thing we need to keep in mind, is that we still want the ability to stream requests, as this is a really imoprtant use case. I don't think anything specifically prevents it in this implementation, but just making sure it's know :)
Not a real PR, just to keep the thing visible if someone's interested.
