I would bet anyone, on the current Siebel system we are trying to tune,
that even if we told the users of the risks of above, that we could
increase performance even 20%, they would not only say "do it", they
would give us a bonus.  

Of course, that same management would have us booted when the server
does inevitably crash and we lost even one transaction (but hopefully
we'd be long gone by then????).
