Kevin, you are clearly misunderstanding the analysis perspective which says 
that the problem is never a matter of algorithm or system design, or 
operational use.

Rather, performance is only a matter of machine size...

This is an unusual perspective to hear from anyone but a mainframe 
manufacturer.

Perhaps an axiom emerges:  Problem domain complexity is easily resolved 
through simplistic analysis.
