But then there's the issue of cost. Tuning performance on the software side only costs time and expertise but not money. And management doesn't really want to spend money unless you tell them they are going under within a week.

Sounds like GP is a contractor. In that world, time and expertise is money - contracting rates aren't perceived as a sunk cost the way salaries are - and an SSD won't cost more than a few hours' billable time would. (Less than one hour, for high-end firms.)
