Batch Versus Blocking Operations

By default, spaces are distributed, which means that the servicing of requests and storage of entries for the space is implemented in a distributed manner by all of the space's seeders.

If seeders are distributed over a network, then some operations require at least one network round-trip to complete. Therefore, using the parallelized batch versions of the operations (or distributing space operations over multiple threads) rather than invoking the same blocking operation in a loop is the best way to achieve a high throughput of operations.
