Yeah, the usual mechanism by which more data reduces computational difficulty is by directly identifying the values some previously-latent variables. If we know the value of a variable precisely, then that’s easy to represent; the difficult-to-represent distributions are those where there’s a bunch of variables whose uncertainty is large and tightly coupled.
