What scale is "noticeable"? Is it slower than "we're going to pretend the network is slow and send you 1KB/s until we generate the rest"?

I wouldn't be surprised if regenerating it a few times is more expensive than simply storing it once.

1kb is much larger than most hashes.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say by that.

I'm saying that strategies like that won't work when the data required fits into a single packet.
