Yes, we do profile our code - but this discussion was more about the
potential for concurrency relating to the article link that was posted.

I think they should throw more money at making disk access faster or,
more realistically, viable alternatives - for us it is definitely the
biggest bottle neck. Solid state is not commercially viable for large
storage sizes yet (It's certainly cheaper than it used to be but can't
be compared to conventional hard drives for cost).
I guess we could squeeze a little bit more of multiple core CPUs, but
more/cheaper RAM, faster storage access are the real performance
drivers for mapping/GIS software.
Cheers,
Phil.

Correct, it's old news in that area. But nonetheless real work,
depending on how well the framework you're using supports it.
The difference implied by the article quoted is that more
applications and hence developers will be running up against real
performance bottlenecks in future, and will have to find ways to deal
with them. Not just Phil Scadden and all us web developers <g>.
want. I don't see a huge impact here except for gamers and processor
intensive apps like graphics & number crunching?
Hmmm, an hypothesis. What do others think? Bags of room on the upside
for most of what you do?
