Yea I've had it about 3 weeks now, and I'm still amazed at how much power it's got. I've never had a system where I have so much spare cpu and ram that I can run anything without ever impacting something else. I've actually hit the point where compile times are significantly more disk bound than cpu bound. I'm actually working on a project to take advantage of all this cpu power to help the Perl community a bit by using the large 30k+ libraries and their test suites to validate in-development versions of perl being properly backwards compatible (been a bit of a sticking point in this latest cycle of perl 5 development).
