Dunno, how much memory and storage does the network have?
The CERN grid currently[1] has 1 EB of storage and 750k of CPUs, and that pushes out 2 million jobs per day. From own experience of one of the 162 sites, you have something like 6 GB of ram per CPU core, and often jobs need more than that so that in practice you are memory bound.
