People keep saying that. But in my experience services were run as
efficiently as they seem to be run today. Perhaps the team I worked in
knew what it was doing :-)

How many custom services were you running on a single machine, just out of

What do you mean by custom? There were database services, web-based
services, information servers other than web all running on 2 big
servers. The infrastructure services (file servers, DNS, NTP, DHCP,
boot servers, automatic backup etc etc) were split between 2 servers
with backup and failover. not sure how you'd classify our mail service,
as infrastructure or custom, but it was far from bog-standard.
