This is the intention, a huge optimisation of the os and application. And the ability to increase the speed by making a task running on one server perhaps in a single tasking environment but the benefits of multitasking where you need it perhaps on the support of the critical speed task. Multi tasking servers proving a realtime interface to an extremely fast single tasking single process single machine running without even perhaps an operating system. The operating system would be perhaps a support task on a different machine.

I hope this makes sense..................
