Because the object is not cached the requests will pass through upstream to B and incoming 1000 streams will be saved on A in tmp directory as a separate files. After every request has completed the files from tmp directory will be moved to cache directory. 1000 equal operations for one and the same object. In addition every object will be cached slow because there are 999 other streams.
