Also the beginning of "good enough" performance? In recent years client side software has not generated any new breakthroughs that require vast amount of computing power. Most opengl v2 + games look more or less the same, raytracing hasnt taken off inspite of intels best efforts and there are multiple solutions to do video decode in hardware. I think intel sorely needs something to come along that causes regular users to want to pay top dollar for top performance.

The only thing I run with any regularity, that feels like it could use more raw horsepower is the Clang/LLVM static-analyzer.

Adding an SSD seemed to make no difference, but with luck, the software will get some love and speed up.
