         imagine using various optimisation (eg: another cache, network
         exchange, etc).
 
+        A possible approach to this is to build a set of all node used as
+        precursors in `obsstore._obscandidate`. If markers are not loaded yet,
+        we could initialize it by doing a quick scan through the obsstore data
+        and filling a (pre-sized) set. Doing so would be much faster than
+        parsing all the obsmarkers since we would access less data, not create
+        any object beside the nodes and not have to decode any complex data.
+
         For now we stick to the simpler approach of paying the
         performance cost on new changesets.
