emphasis "using more bandwith of the overall network". The network is of
course starved for bandwidth most of the time, due to asynhronous
connections. If average uploads is 512Kbit (which I think it is not, I
think its actually much lower) we only have 64KB/s to share with a lot
of users. This wont result in that much bandwidth being free for your
inserts, let alone other overhead.
