You know, you're right. I will change my reply accordingly henceforth - linear population growth, linear increase in energy usage / computing power, and quadratic increase in (nonenergetically stored) memories.

Don't you get some pretty nasty latency on accessing those memories?

You get a linear increase in low-latency memory and a quadratic increase in high-latency memory.

And a linear increase in the latency of the high latency memory.
