The evidence here is three times "If brute force doesn't solve your problems, then you aren't using enough." which is the route chosen by uncultivated people in any domain. (myself included)
Among which I often hear:
- "Just add more RAM, it doesn't cost much nowadays!"
- "Just push it to <insert well-known hosting plaform, preferably A.z.n> using <insert overhyped virtualisation platform>"
- "Just use to NoSQL, it's faster!"
(sigh)
