+## List Pagination & Scalability
+
+When NFD GC runs up it lists nodefeatures from api-server.
+These resources can be large and in a large cluster this initial list call to sync the informer cache can be
+expensive and heavy on api-server/etcd. You can use the `list-size` argument to control pagination size
+to help control the load from this list.
