I might be confused, but when reading it I got the wrong idea. As it says "An example of this might be processing a series of images one at a time to avoid running out of VRAM" I though the graph will be processed N times. But looking at the actual behavior each node is processed N times and the graph just once. I understand it might solve VRAM issues, but not RAM issues. I want to process a hundreds or thousands of images, sure they don't fit in VRAM, but the same applies to RAM.
It should be clear this doesn't solve it, and looks like the problem doesn't have an efficient solution, in particular since V3 spec is asking for stateless nodes. So the only state might be the disk ... this implies reading the directories over and over.
