You don't count the trend in user count which is faster than the trend
in RAM price unfortunately. I've had several times people ask me what
to change in their kernel to go beyond 1 million concurrent connections
in haproxy. A few years ago, they were only talking about several tens
of thousands. With everything device connected to everything all the
time, I don't expect this trend to revert any time soon :-/
