How many applications on your machine right now are GPU accelerated? There is a chunk of silicon that spends almost all its time doing nothing.

Sure but it's not that powerful. It's not a gaming rig.

Also it had better spend almost all its time doing nothing or it would kill my battery. Same as with my CPU.

The main point still stands though -- it's pretty useless if it takes a couple minutes to do what a server can do in a couple seconds.

How do you think the server does it in a couple of seconds? Maybe we should get rid of gaming rigs because servers are fast, right?

Every single one of them since both windows and mac use the GPU for window management

I miss Aero, that shit was so cool...
