You see, I've seen in several places that GetSnapShotData() is the
bottleneck in scaling connections.
One of them, if I remember correctly, was at an IBM in Russia.
Another statement occurs in [1][2][3]
Just because I don't have enough hardware to force GetSnapShotData()
doesn't mean optimizing it won't make a difference.
And even on my modest hardware, we've seen gains, small but consistent.
So IMHO everyone will benefit, including the small servers.
