The question is what is better: increase traffic or increase server's 
memory? I think it is better to increase traffic a bit. This is not 
fatal, since all modern clients implementations has PEP support, so 
actually you don't need to filter anything.

Because writing XEPs where server should store foreign servers info is 
not a way to go. In fact, tight servers will double the data of each 
others: presences and resources. You can imagine the amount of data if 
server1 has 1M of users online and server2 has 2M of users online. Do 
you remember any other technologies where it takes place? HTTP, SMTP, 
SIP, etc? *Nowhere*. PEP design is a flaw.
