Probably, as far as the discussion stays close to common general
purpose platforms like PCs and workstations, to which it seems to
me the discussion, 95% of times, is attached for implementation issues.
Having more and more industrial-oriented involvement means to me
also to abandon this only way and to debate about sw, hw, mixed
hw/sw solutions, security, multi-process synchro etc., etc. In this
context many aspects enter into the discussion and ...

... the equation efficiency = speed is not at all the only issue on
the table. Many people buy a PentiumII portable because they believe
it is faster than a Pentium I portable, but what happens if you don't
have it plug in the socket ? Perhaps you could save $500 or more,
and this is another valuable point. Do you catch my point ?
Best regards,
Giorgio
