No, let's ignore it because it's not a fact but an incredibly biased
(and not particularly useful) opinion.
(Actually, what I've seen suggests that the memory systems are usually
pretty well balanced, and that the I/O systems are out of balance to about
the same extent they are on most machines...I/O has been in catch-up mode
for years.)

Yeah, let's not mention that, since it isn't true.
