This annoys me a lot, for one of two reasons. Either:
1. Some developers have no idea what performance means -- it's crazy that I have time to notice a spinner when a glorified IRC client starts up or switches tabs, let alone have time to watch it for tens of seconds.
or:
2. If these developers are claiming they have no performance problems, clearly the laptops that can handle modern applications are being hoarded, and I have no way to obtain one of these magical machines. All I can get are recent i7 processors.

- brokenmachine 10y agoI agree with both of these. With the power that even average machines have now, it beggars belief that we ever see a spinner at all for normal desktop-related stuff.
