The problem is that they must be tuning the I/O scheduler for SSDs these days,
so if you have a regular HD ("spinning rust"), you'll suffer.
I also can't really explain this. When building something big on my Mac Mini,
the first few minutes the total system usage is around 20% and varies a lot;
then after that it shoots up to 100% and stays there.
You can call it a conspiracy to make you buy newer hardware...
