The difference between an algron that fights with the cash versus one that's very cashaware can be extremely large. If you have magic hardware that off loads t c p packet assembly or something, maybe that hardware hand s eight different active streams, but if you have nine, suddenly the performance strikes by a factor of a hundred. So all of these speed up mechanisms, as chips get more complicated and issue instructions out of order - they're wonderful until you step off the edge of the cliff. And to know about that, you have to actually understand what arder is doing so that you recognize what you've done to yourself when we step off the cliff.
