Re: "CPU Hungry"

That's a VERY interesting observation.

And I agree with your analysis of the data.

I offer the following two-factor theory to explain the observation:

1. Scaling up the CPU results in a perceived immediate benefit. Scaling up the HDD beyond a certain point results in no immediate benefit. The empirically determined point here would seem to be ~12 gigs.

2. HDD space can be incrementally increased. Not so the CPU. Have to throw out the old CPU to move up to a better one, resulting in lost investment.
