Examining the Claim That I/O Is No Longer the Bottleneck in Programming Tasks

The article examines the claim that I/O is no longer the bottleneck in programming tasks like word frequency counting, challenging the common belief that I/O is the limiting factor. It references Ben Hoyt's blog post which argues that sequential read speeds have improved dramatically while CPU speeds have stagnated, making I/O less of a bottleneck than previ
