Disappointing upgrade: Sempron 2200+ --> Phenom II 4X 840 - Page 5

  In 1985, I had an IBM XT and used it to run an assembler for Motorola 6809
code.  It took about 20 minutes to complete.  A few years later, my  company
bought us Compaq Deskpro 40 machines.  BIGGGGGGGGG DIFFERENCE!  The
assembler took about 30 seconds.

However, I've never experienced that kind of  upgrade joy since.

Yeah, I know what you mean, things were going so fast, you almost felt
that maybe it didn't work right or something. These days, you might see
something go from 30 seconds down to 15 seconds, it'll feel like a nice
boost for a little while, but after two days you'll already be used to it.

I think it took me months to get over how much faster the new system was
over the older one.
