  - [ ] investigate why dht is so chatty
    - watch ipfs log tail
  - [ ] make fewer calls to findpeer and findprovs
    - [ ] identify where all these calls are made

- [ ] Fix Providers Problem 
  - [ ] Goal: 10x bandwidth reduction from providing

  - [ ] investigate flatfs calls
    - [ ] reduce number of useless calls
  - [ ] dagservice lru caching
    - [ ] configurable size
  - [ ] blockstore 'has block' bloom filter cache
