So, plan 9 wasnt made for, hmm, heavy computing tasks, like 2 milions of

something like that?

rather, when there was a conflict between squeezing every last cycle
out of the machine or simplicity, the designers of plan 9 generally
opted for simplicity. when there was a conflict between generality
and performance, the bias was toward generality.

the beauty of plan 9 is sum of these well-thought-out choices.
as you point out, these choices are always worth revisiting.
they seem to be working well for the time being.

btw, plan 9 is perfectly well-suited to your examples.
