that's why i've been saying we need at least a "results as list of ID's" query type

pagination is a query engine thing

it gets a query, and some spec of page X and per-page Y and whatever that big list of IDs has to be cached so the same query can be consumed with the other parts of the same query result list

i say, first of all, relays are just limiting results to typically 500kb

that's enough to spew 14000 event IDs

so why not have a simple query that just gives you that cache and forget the pagination, you do that yourself, bitch!
