yeah, but ... those cpu servers, IIRC, were big 'ol power challenge
machines.Big fat SMP, faster than the terminals, much more memory, etc.
I remember Rob's talk at '89 usenix (or some such) and it was clear at
the time that the cpu servers really were where you did computing, not
on your weakling terminal.
Meant to be shared, by lots of folks, hence that ' ... big boys' comment
in the startup code, reserving more kernel memory since there would be
more users on a cpu than on a terminal.
life has changed.
