Indeed. Even the largest DCs are putting so few racks up per day (still many, many racks) that throughput is rarely the problem. Actually getting the parts on time has been more of an issue in my experience, or finding out that your entire rack is forfeit because it fell over at the docking bay. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen rack-and-stack go too slow for the consumers to actually use the hardware. Usually the hardware is sitting waiting to be provisioned for eons. The real labor is pulling bad drives/boards and rejiggering the network after the racks are in. So many outages are caused by magic hands making an error and pulling the wrong cord.
