A consultant once told me that the best way to avoid fast scrolling is to type at an Apple Macintosh, which has slower processor speeds. Excuse me while I laugh. The advantages of horsepower far outweigh annoyances from too-fast scrolling. Sure, you could buy a Geo Metro and avoid the speeding tickets often associated with a Porsche. I soon found that everything about the new system just seems to work better.
Multiprocessing is a breeze.
I can keep more than 10 programs running at once without even a hiccup. This is a huge help for a reviewer. Speech recognition software, for example, takes a seemingly endless time to process speech patterns, locking up the system for other tasks. Now I can run even Adobe Photoshop while other applications are humming along unnoticed in background. Highly detailed photos load in less than a second.
