I talked to Peter on the phone today, and remembered that the first version of CTM had another kind of limit. Basically the idea was that deltas were produced, chopped to bits and stored in a spool-directory. A crontab entry pulls things from the spool-directory, say, max 3 chunks every hour or something. This means that the data-rate is limited too.
