I would be happy with both possibilities, but these are entirely different tasks, and if we have to manage large data, please state how large, and adapt the current solutions accordingly. All current solutions imply the dataset lies entirely in memory. For "usual" machines, that means the dataset is actually rather small.
 
Hailholyghost gave his example above, here is another one: most of my work is done on a business PC with 8GB RAM and SAS/Stata/R (and I suspect most professional statisticians work on a daily basis on that kind of machine, with that kind of software). Some of my work is done on a SAS VA server with 265 GB RAM. Still another part of my job is done on SAS EG in a Citrix environment connecting to large Oracle servers (health data for the entire french population). Different machines, different tasks, obviously.

However, I personally would be a bit reluctant to ask something on Rosetta Code that requires more than a PC, as it's by far the most widespread kind of machine, especially among students, who will likelly benefit most from such a site.
