Unless the system is _perfectly_ tuned.

If you don't notice the bottleneck, it is because you _are_ the
bottleneck. :-)

Seriously it is important to be aware that although we may call our X
server a "system", what is perceived as the system to the user is much
more than just the X server. It is also the local hardware, the
network and the application servers. Altogether it is likely to be
completely different from user to user, and any developer who is
serious about the performance should at least test the effects of
limiting each of the factors that can act as the bottleneck, to see
what can be done to compensate and how necessary it is.
