For servers at the edges of the tree, that would help a lot. For those nearer the centre of the tree, which inevitably must handle data relevant to _many_ servers (and hence many more channels and users), it would make less of a difference. The links between these central servers are obviously more critical than those around the edges (because they directly affect more users), and the only way to resolve their problems would be to increase the resources available to them. -- Mat.
