That's an interesting correlation between the sizes and latencies for cache levels. Thanks for linking it.

Though once you're at the "distributed" tier, I wouldn't expect further increases to be sqrt. Distributed within a datacenter is probably going to have a log(n) topology of links, and distributed across datacenters is a fixed number of milliseconds based on the area you're serving with no real connection to amount of RAM.
