This should work OK as long as you keep a small cache of some of the
popular files (look for a cache expiry mechanism that is tailored
for byte-hit optimization - LRU might cause many non-common files to
replace some of the more common files).

For the record, in my opinion your reason sounds good enough, just
make sure you're not paying a high price for unnecessary "purity".

Good luck, and maybe post a controller for pseudo files on the CPAN.
