It's the complexity effect - the GFS isn't like a mysql database. Data is sharded into various kinds of pieces and then stored across a huge server farm.

It's to me something like DRDB.
I see very outdated results in Caffeine, so it's like they pushed all old data back to years ago and then reapplying algorithms, filters, etc..

But of course, it's not that simple :)
