I do this when a periodic files system check of a large partition kicks in
and I do not want to spend the time waiting for it.
Other things I like to interrupt are long timeouts, e.g. while some
program waits for a server to respond, but I do not have an internet
connection at the moment. I had this problem with an annoyingly large NTP
timeout (it seems to be much smaller these days), and I wished I could
have stopped it.
