At least when I did my traineeship at CERN (2003-2004) that was the
case.
I hope CERN has better software engineers than Cambridge University ;)
Most of these guys are mathematicians and physicists first, and
programmers second.
I was on the Atlas group that does real time processing from the data
coming out of the particle accelerator, as a way to filter out
uninteresting data.
And also offline multicore clustered data analysis of the saved data.
They even rewrote the network stack to bypass the latency introduced by
IP protocols.
You are right on the guys backgrounds, but on our case we had monthly
meetings about performance of the whole stack, to look for spots worth
improving.
