A comment on 2,500 continuous runtime hours on a 4.77Mhz DOS web server. Parent comment
Back of the napkin-
assuming 2020 tech, 20 cores, 2.4ghz and ignoring all of the non-cpu complexity growth, it would be around 0.2 seconds lol.
If you were to wrap in the actual system complexity *operating frequency we’d probably be around 10ms equivalent complexity.
The reliability of modern computing systems is ridiculous.
