[mb-devel] how much is too much?

[Ben]

Hey guys, I've been mulling over the idea of writing a puid-enabled OS X 
tagger as a project to experiment with OS X cocoa development. I haven't 
put a lot of thought into it, but given the examples in libmusicbrainz, it 
seems that there are many ways to identify tracks in a given directory, 
and the more lookups I do, the more accurate guessing my program could 
make.

I guess what this really boils down to is asking how many lookups/sec is 
reasonable for a single client? I'd rather sacrifice runtime instead of 
accuracy, so if that means throttling my lookups down to 1 every 10 
seconds, I'd rather do that then not be able to deal with some corner 
cases.
