The engineers response was somewhere along the lines of "given Oracle's
data center focus and work load, building this type of system would be
the equivalent of removing the ox from the plow, and replacing the ox
with a hundred chickens".
Sounds about right. ARM is not currently being used because it's
"better"...it's being used because it's "cheap.
