At the GNOME Summit. Yesterday, Federico offered an interesting talk on performance, which spurred this thought: As processor speed increases, the time spent in I/O approaches 100% of total execution time, until all processes are fully I/O bound. A perhaps obvious observation, but one that highlights the importance of keeping our I/O in check.
