Absolutely. It was cheaper to get more cpu's than new boxes. That and
monitoring the IO subsystem was pretty essential. We were running
several raid arrays. Monitoring the system is pretty important no matter
how many boxes you have. Tuning counts for a lot... It doesnt help if
you get a cpu but most of your bottleneck is IO or network bandwidth.
Anyways, it was just an example.
