My computer's too slow

[Poll #1461959]

You can't buy a computer nowadays that's too slow to run Word Processors/Spreadsheets/Web browsers on.

So what would you be able to do on your computer if it was faster that you can't now?

windows will swap even when it doesn't need to, so if i have >2gb ram in a machine i'll turn off the swap file altogether, which provides a minor speed boost from windows waiting for the hard disk less. and on laptops it should also have battery life implications.
