I think that's true - in any case, many of the large brokerage houses
here on Wall Street use BLI's for order systems - definatly non-trivial!
Sybase is starting to make some inroads in that arena also.  These
are clear examples of where you NEED dedicated hardware (whether
it's something like a BLI or something like Sybase on a backend
processor) to do the work - it will just completely overwhelm the
CPU to do this kind of crunching on the host machine.
