I suspect the bottleneck isn't cost so much as the mental bandwidth to switch hosts, etc. It would be a context switch for PG/RTM/bringing someone else up to speed on arc. HN's just naturally lagging other priorities.

Farther in the future: HN's arc webserver uses simple flat files for storage, so moving from one host to two is probably a big context switch as well. I wonder what the current server's specs are, and how long we have until that kinda-sorta-Y2K-like barrier.
