Re: Memory v's CPU

A bit of an echo here, but memory is important. If you plan on having
reasonable performance, you really want to have enough memory to keep
the entire process in RAM. Once you start paging, performance just
plummets.

Having said that, if you're running a really big cache, you'll need a
reasonable amount of CPU as well :)
