I've reviewed the document, and it's not as bad as I thought. In fact,
it's got good data in it, mostly.
But I think the problem is that, although the data for memPerSlot is
"there", it has to be computed by talking totalMem and dividing it by
"slots" and even worse, slots can only be determined by taking totalHs06
and dividing it by hs06PerSlot. That's easy in a spreadsheet, but doing
that to all 300 rows in the Wiki table would be a serious PITA. That's a
problem.
I've got an application to do this work, but I'd have to load the data
into it (and it's not exactly in JSON format!) I'll think about it.
Cheers,
