I have stayed out of this discussion of latency in an MBrain, but do keep in
mind there are a bunch of variations on the MBrain theme which complicate
the question of latency vs node size.  For instance, we can have an MBrain
with SBrains orbiting within: an SBrain is a cluster of a few thousand, a
few million or a few billion nodes which co-orbit a common center of mass,
while that common center of mass orbits the star.  This creates something
analogous to a human city or population center, where local latency is very
low.
