How about this for dedication and focus -

Amjad Khan - Technical Account Manager in Sun's Market Development Engineering group - moved his entire family to Chicago for 3 months so that he could focus on the port of  Reuters widely used Market Data System (RMDS) to Sun's Solaris 10(TM) x64 platform . 

This extraordinary effort led to extraordinary results.  Powered by Solaris 10 & running on Sun Fire(TM) x64 servers, Sun  exceeded the one million market data updates per second benchmark on RMDS 6.0.  Read more about it at: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060620/sftu086.html?.v=60

Sun also maintains a special website for Reuters: http://www.sun.com/third-party/global/reuters/
