Sim, It is not any of these things. I think that both an in-memory system and a db system are options and important to provision, and a lot of other alternatives as well. I do not know how you get to the touching Entry conjecture.
We were talking about increased performance and about quality control criteria implicitly. I decided to put my two cents in and share what I knew from working with systems with very high demands: that is all there is to it, essentially. My two cents involves my central expertise, architecting pieces of high performance, mission critical, systems. The whole system needs to be looked at from my perspective prior to deciding on implementation details, otherwise an accidental architecture is the result. We know how those work. I am just sharing what I think and what the criteria (performance) is I need for our clients. Lately I am just talking about what I talked about! ;-) I am not sure what you are thinking, Sim, but I hope I addressed what you are concerned about.
