I believe it is both a scheduling and memory allocation/loading issue. It is interesting that caches are NUMA but main memory is not.

The virus triggers an acute immune response. This is not the same as an autoimmune disease, it may be the opposite. Also, people with certain blood types that have better clotting ability seem to be at a disadvantage.
> Look at all the results. Even before that exceptions are more often a win than a loss.
The blog post you linked to effectively says "it depends"
AFAIK SEH in Windows calls RaiseException() which in turn causes a user/kernel mode transition, probes for exception/termination handlers, and vectored exception handlers depending on the severity. It's been a while but I'm not sure the code GCC generates in Linux is quite like this.
The blog post you linked to says "Immediately we see that once the stack depth grows above a certain size (here 200/3 = 66), exceptions are always faster. This is not very interesting, because call stacks are usually not this deep (enterprise Java notwithstanding). For lower depths there is a lot of noise, especially for GCC ..." So ... not exactly "generally faster".
Also, the test is only for Linux. The same test on Windows/VC++ will probably run a lot slower ... again not "generally faster"
In other words it is acting like a monopolist or a shrewd business.
As others have commented, consumers already pay for both services.
If it's infrastructure cost that you're concerned about I've read somewhere (Bloomberg?) that Netflix offered to co-locate its equipment in Comcast's data centers but the latter refused.
One of the things that I'm looking at (as a hobby research topic) are automating managed intensive rotational grazing for cattle and remote herd management.
