Isn't he replacing disk I/O with network I/O, and unless you are talking about SSD isn't the network faster?

Doesn't google's search engine demonstrate this?

It seems unlikely that a Chromebook would have a gigabit link within Google's datacenters.

That wasn't the point. Is the network really "slower by orders of magnitude" than disk? Why is using the network such a silly idea, considering network speeds are more than keeping up. Was the reference just referring to protocols. I was hoping for some accuracy: something to back up the statement.

...unless you are talking about SSD isn't the network faster?

It was my understanding that most or all of the Chromebooks have (small) SSDs.
