> it predominantly tests a peripheral issue: the efficiency of extracting memory form one process and transferring it to another. Isn’t this almost always the whole problem? Most code is bottlenecked on memory and I/O. Complex problems are usually held up by the speed of getting data from one place to another, and not very often on computing the data. As someone who spends his days optimizing GPU assembly, even in the rare cases when compute is the bottleneck, once you optimize it, memory becomes the bottleneck.
