Do we still warn people Civi is resource-intensive?

 As noted in http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,29459.msg126360.html#msg126360 we used to warn people:

Quote
CiviCRM is resource-intensive. We encourage users to consider Virtual Private Servers (VPS) OR (semi) dedicated hosting OR shared hosting from a host with experience hosting CiviCRM.

I can't seem to find it anywhere now in the info about getting started.  Is it still there somewhere, and if not should it be?

stuff like import or dedupe or civimail are still resource intensive.

Not sure how to formulate it nicely, but guys going for the 2$ a month hosting have servers that have caps everywhere that will screw up things in weird ways here and there. The saving isn't worth their time... nor our trying to support them in the forums ;)

Agree totally, I also have experience of customers trying to force 50000+ contacts and all components into a 10 euro a year hoster. And strangely enough, it does not work :-)
So we really should warn people that CiviCRM is not a little plugin, but a complete CRM and requires resources equivalent to the range of functionality (or something along those lines)
