I think the misunderstanding here (and I apologize where I've contributed to it) is that you think I'm talking specifically and only about CPU clock rates.

The scale-up/scale-out tradeoff applies to many things, both in computing and elsewhere. I was trying to make a larger point.

I guess it's appropriate, in this discussion about logging, that we got into some mixup between the forest and the trees (:
