The effect of fast hardware on
Oracle performance
Don Burleson has published an excellent article on the effect of
hardware on Oracle database performance:

Don Burleson concludes:
I was really hoping that this approach would fail, but to my
surprise the database response time improved dramatically! It was
still the same poorly-designed schema with sub-optimal SQL, but the
hardware made it run like a Ferrari.
Now, don't get me wrong. Hardware is an excellent solution for an
Oracle database that is already optimized, but I hope I'm not seeing
the start of a new trend where hardware will be used in lieu of
human resources to fix Oracle tuning issues. Alas, only time will
tell...
