David, thank you for the review. Excellent work--and time consumming no doubt. ;)
A general question for some feedback if i may. You make reference in your article on several occasions about future performance gains using tuning and optimised software.
In the real world, how likely is that to happen though. My experience is that once a production platform becomes stable, the people who look after infrastructure are _loathe_ to change to (for example) a new JVM etc. because the validation and regression testing costs are prohibitive. Perhaps I've only worked in overly conservative organisations? So while the theoretical numbers are impressive, whether Woodcrest will be as dominant may not be so clear cut?
