I can pretty much guarantee the Touch was not designed as a server, it
was designed as the next generation network player. When they got some
early prototypes up and running they realized it was only using half
the CPU and memory for the player software. Someone popped up with "I
wonder if the server could run on whats left over?" So they tried and
tried and turned things off, and tried different SQL engine and finally
got something that would work in what was leftover. Then marketing heard
about it, now it was a major feature being plugged by marketing so the
developers had to try and figure out how to make it work for most
people.
