error: browsing HAMT dirs extremely slow about bifrost-gateway HOT 2 CLOSED

IMO we shouldn't spend too much time worrying about this. Everyone was warned how slow this was going to be, we're better off spending our time doing things we want for M >0.2.

For example:

1. Sessions so caboose can choose to leverage them in deciding where to route requests if they want
2. Refactoring the Gateway API code so it processes full requests instead of partial ones (i.e. is higher level)
3. Prototyping and cat wrangling on the HTTP API that will allow for larger requests

Ultimately we can deal with a lot of Saturn slowness and/or misbehavior by sticking optimized blockstore caching here. However, IMO this shouldn't be where we start as any issues we paper over here are going to be ones that show up for other Saturn clients (e.g. browser nodes) anyway. While ultimately we're going to have to pull out any available tricks to make this as fast and efficient as we can for ipfs.io I just don't want to start by masking systemic issues.

With block cache added in #15 it is no longer excruciating 👍
Good enough, let's focus on CARs.
