I think 10-20 routes is actually rather low, at least for a data API as
complex as Nova.

I wrote my own replacement for Routes (I call it URLTree); some
benchmarks show that it consistently performs significantly better than
Routes across the board.  I was surprised to see this with only 10
randomly selected routes, and when you get to numbers on the order of
100 (which is where I suspect nova is), the increase in performance is
quite impressive.
