I think you may be confused about what "throughput-optimized" means. HFT is not throughput-optimized by definition. The LMAX link literally says it is a latency-optimized system. An optimal throughput-optimized system has unbounded worst-case latency -- the opposite of "latency-optimized".

None of those links contradict anything I wrote, I am already familiar with all of them.
