Also, it seems we are reaching a sort of inflection point between "enough hardware" and "too much information still waiting to be processed". Case in point, Facebook's recent launch of HipHop for PHP that allwas for faster and nimbler code. Of course, it does not solve the basic problem of bloatware that you described, but I'm hoping it is a start. Like everything else, this problem and it's solution seem cyclical The “throw more hardware” issue is slowly becoming less of a problem as server farms are finally being called expensive (imagine that) and need to get lean.
