I am not a TG expert but the options I believe are file, memory, database and role your own.
"my time has a cost and optimisation often buys less performance than, say, a Dell SC1425" Unfortunatly my time is not worth a IBM 64way mainframe (or I would be one happy hacker). Bigger machines help but as my comment said before this will give you only linear optimization at some point you will need _exponential_ optmizaitions. This also depends on the complexity of the data relationships that your application needs. You need a machine that is 64 times faster buy a 64 proc machine, but you need a machine 10000x then start hacking. "You don't always write to one place" My experience although limit did include some trading systems over on this side of the pond I have not seen any applications that wrote to more than one place. I wish I got to work on a project that required this kind of technical scaling but alas I am a bottom feeder :) Data is stored in RDBMS or mainframe so I can not comment on such fancy stuff.
