Default any advantages to deleting ultrapeers when a search fails?

As I understand it, LW pro connects to a maximum of 5 ultrapeers. When a search goes out... those UPs relay it to X hops to other UPs. So if it's 3 hops... then I assume that I'm reaching 5x5x5 or 125 UPs. Is that the correct way to look at this?

Often what I'm searching for is rather obsure and I get no results. So is there any advantage to deleting one's list of UPs and getting another? Would that help? Or would I just be reconnecting with the same UPs by a different route?

If I do delete my list will they EVER come back? Or are does LW store that list as it does ban host?

Thanks!
