Why? We shouldn't be pushing out updates more than once per day. Right?

Yes, it doesn't hit the network on every operation but that's the 
perception. For operations, it does, it isn't always obvious why.  Why 
does remove hit the network for example? I would like to see such things 
documented somewhere. It is certainly a FAQ. If we had a reference to 
point out to users, it would help a lot. Thanks.
