What about developing or testing in a virtual machine?

VMs running on my box might not get a lot of CPU time, but will still get good IO performance.

It's going a bit beyond just simple performance, too. For example, I can add logging of reads on client network file descriptors like this:

Bleh. It looks pretty useless without threading. EDIT: By threading, I mean conversation threading; this isn't a misplaced comment about the performance of La Brea.

I concur. I've never really found it useful.

It's useful in that it lets you know that there's a conversation going on somewhere else when you're looking at the comments on the page. It might be enough to say, ``active conversation as of x [unit of time] ago over here: [link]''
