Big iron is fine for some of the classifier stuff, but throughput per $ can be higher for other algorithms with a cluster of smaller machines.
How big a machine are you talking about? Even relatively small machines are pretty massive any more. 8 core = 16 hyper-thread machines with 48GB seem to be not even very impressive any more.
