Parent article: APT Rust requirement raises questions

This sounds like a machine purpose built to win this benchmark honestly. Is it a device that one can buy? How many of this item exist? Should we optimise for this?

It's an embedded Linux system - cheap parts throughout.

But, FWIW, this also applied to big servers at a hyperscaler - the cost of processing relocations outweighed the cost of paging in a bit more from the application binary from an SSD. Systems with HDDs only benefited speed-wise from dynamic linking, systems with SSDs benefited from static linking.

Don't know which device farnz is talking about, but the description matches things like NanoKVM.
