Is it also possible to speed up lookup? I never used IPFS much as it took several minutes to find a cid.

Actually, lookup is super fast - CID lookup is consistently <200ms from the EU [0]. The original slowness came mostly from stale records and NAT’d peers that were indexed in the DHT which has since been mostly resolved.

When’s the last time you tried? It must be much faster now. Check: https://probelab.io/ipfs/dht/#chart-ipfs-dht-lookup-performa...

Do you have any examples of actual content to look up, rather than benchmark graphs?
