The classic hardware engineering response of "we'll just fix it in software". Turns out fixing things in software is even more expensive because it's just so easy to make changes that a combinatoric number of changes sneak in.

Being handed a poorly performing piece of hardware and told to "just fix it in software" is quite another.
