This has already been discussed. It brings intractable support issues.

Like media centers that don't handle or don't allow more than X connection(s) 
(for a very small X), file system or storage whose performance sucks when 
reading more than one node at a time, memory and CPU consumption.

Basically, nobody seems to know how to compute a safe value for N because it 
is context-dependent. So all things considered, caching the results in a 
database may be less of a problem source than preparsing in parallel.
