I realize that I am treading on dangerous ground here (I will probably catch
it from the Windows zealots), so I am donning my asbestos underwear...

Doesn't the fact that you have to optimize the hardware to make a given
piece of software run with acceptable speed raise questions in anybody's
mind?  This immediately raises a warning flag in my brain that perhaps
the software in question is not the best answer to the problem!
Especially when there are better solutions on the market.

Please, I am interested in discussions on this, but send your flames
to /dev/null.
