Recompiling the entire openoffice so it loads 1 second quicker.. just using a hacked up distcc cluster and a day's worth of CPU time. Bargain!

It can actually be a bargain though. CPU time I can buy with money, life time is a lot more difficult to extend (not to mention the frustration a second of startup time can cause).
