My hope is to do things in parallel. I work with a fair amount of
data, and a large data run may take 12 hours. Sometimes I can split
that and run it as multiple processes. While that is running, I may
have multiple browsers, each with perhaps 50 or more tabs open. This
load makes my current box unusably slow, swap is maxed out, and
something very often crashes - I may lose several days of work. And
there's email, editing of docs, making diagrams, etc, etc. Perhaps
Intel can do one 12 hour job in 4 hours, but I still have lots going
on during that 4 hours.
