I don't know what's with you retro kids these days. Back in the
old days, speed was cool. You wanted a faster machine. Now that
the most whizzy machines are 1/100th the price (in inflation-adjusted
dollars) you're still playing with the stuff in the dumpster.
Programs still start more quickly on a faster CPU.
