The main problem I have is with a cold boot. this is a symptom of the mindset of the software house programmers, where they dont pay the elctric, and dont have the computer sitting in the same room they sleep in, so they dont havta listen to the blowers all nite. They dont worry about lightning either.
The problem with slowness mostly seems to relate to loading gui menus. But most of the actual work I know people do is reading and writing text. The waiting they do is mostly for the graphix on webpages, and the multitasking they do is usually working with email while waiting for one to come up. I only know one person who actually does much graphics, and that is cause she sells jewelry/beadwork online. The email could just as well be in text mode, and leave more resources for the gui to render webpages, but even at that, the bottleneck is not the os, but the 56k modem.
