We don't know the large scale and long term effect of one instance of suffering. But god does. Not only does he know this, he supposedly has to power to intervene at every single case if he can intervene at one. If we're supposing that god has the ability but is withholding it for secret reasons, then it has to be granted that he has the power to intervene. So if you're omniscient and omnipotent, you should be able to eliminate all suffering. So even if small scale suffering does truly reduce large scale suffering, then god is simply taking the easy way out.
