Capacity Planning - A Recession is All About Doing More With Less

I liked this quote a lot:

"A recession is all about doing more with less or, at least, with the capital equipment already purchased. That's a major reason for doing capacity planning."
(from Guerrilla Training Schedule 2009)

I never thought of a recession in those terms. But perhaps this is a boon for Performance Engineers into testing/tuning/scaling and capacity planning. [shrug] Who knows.
