Correct, it's old news in that area. But nonetheless real work,
depending on how well the framework you're using supports it.

The difference implied by the article quoted is that more
applications and hence developers will be running up against real
performance bottlenecks in future, and will have to find ways to deal
with them. Not just Phil Scadden and all us web developers <g>.

Hmmm, an hypothesis. What do others think? Bags of room on the upside
for most of what you do?
