The idea in the presentation that reinforced my own bias: RAM is the new disk. However, the details they presented make it look worse than I imagined, as memory / FSB speeds are apparently grossly overstated.
Now, toss in VMs like Java and .NET walking the heap looking for garbage to take out. Sounds like a cache-miss disaster, to me.
My opinion:

- th0ma5 16y agowell, anything without a vm would be preferred for performance optimization on the hardware, much like anything without needing to be compiled gives one the most control. overall i think you are studying the right things. for me lately, vm's have been okay. the jit compiler is impressive, and llvm & pypy are interesting things too
