I don't think there are many (any) academic labs in CS with 100 post-docs.

also post docs arent students.

big engineering research efforts like that DO happen in industry though.

There's a big difference between how much it costs to do research in CS and how much it costs to do research elsewhere. It costs $10^9/year to run the LHC.

the comment I am responding to is talking about computer science
