The problem to me is that if you can fetch the aggregate, there really is no 
earthly reason to bother with this. Refetching it and processing it in a 
background thread takes care of the subsequent overhead, at least in terms of 
what a user sees. So it really never occurred to me. You don't preload DNS.

They're profiling issues I think. The ability to create custom notions of how 
to query for things was assumed, just not defined in the foundational 
document.
