I think the answer is all about software.  The team showed substantial
speedup on some selected, recoded programs.  The next questions, of which I
have no answers, but people far more familiar with these kinds of
applications might are.

1.    Are there a substantial number of important applications that are
amenable to implementation in a stream friendly way?

2.    How difficult is it to modify existing applications to make them
stream friendly?
