You could probably ask Tom for his perspective on this to get a better idea, rather than taking word-of-mouth as truth.

As for answering the question in this thread: Top scores are stored in such a way that the top 50 are "hot", and can be accessed with minimal load, while further score require extra lookups. With ppv2 I am changing how this works, and as a result may expand retrieval in the future, but don't count on it (I cannot provide any timeline for this happening). While I do my best to support other people's projects, I do like to focus on osu! at the core first.

Let's just say that indexing much more than 50gb of scores results in a lot of big data to handle. It's completely optimised for the osu! environment.

It looks like there won't be until ppv2 is out. Even then, it might not be more than top 50.

Also, wrong section.
