The need of faster CPU ... may not be true.
Using M3, we collect the full market at 10% CPU
usage using a P3-500, 768M Ram.
The trick is with the faster SCSI HD, which take
almost no time to save the data to disk.
If using regular IDE HD, the CPU usage will shoot
upto 15%.
Like funds I worked with before, if your demand
is high, you probably will move onto customized
solutions, no TS.
