Real world data wins so if you have real data then great a write up would be cool.
However, it's 100% empty the first time someone opens a link. If someone up votes there is no need to refresh, so they need to up vote and then refresh the page which I assume is less common. With lot's of pages that never get refreshed and a long tail of pages people go back to. So, my assumption is you can easily keep a vote list in memory for popular pages and everything else is basically a non issue.
As to matching up votes with items, I kind of think that's for client side JavaScript in most cases.
