Yes that can happen if people are already on staff and can be assigned to such an effort. But if the choice is spend $50K on new hardware, vs. hire three new devs to rewrite/optimize the software, the decision is easy.

Yep, there is only me and company doesn't want to hire a new dev so hardware is the cheapest way to speed things up now and it'll still be there when we are finished.
