My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory. Ford, et al., “TCP

If you're using an open source monitoring platform, first check if it already has a BPF agent. opensnoop Files opened table 3. biolatency Disk I/O latency histogram heat map 5. runqlat CPU scheduler latency heat map 10. Think of this as "version 1": A starting point that's pretty useful.
