Gah?
Ok let's review again [for the sake of lazy people who don't follow
threads....]
Ram back then, ~33Mhz. Ram now ~200Mhz
CPUs back then, ~25Mhz, CPUs now ~2Ghz [avg]
If you make memory the bottleneck you'll see that new machines will have a
minimal advantage compared to if you just made the processor the bottleneck
[as in the case of the original HC].
Heck if you could make the net the bottleneck [e.g. must contact a server X
hops away] then you could really level it out more.
