I personally have found that most software is idiocy-bound, like creating a search thread for every key typed in "Quicksearch" box (Vista, with indexing disabled). Or loading an entire page via 12 AJAX-requests, instead of serving it all at once, circa 1998. (and THEN doing a round-trip to the server only to report back that I shouldn't be putting dashes in my phone number) As for I/O... it's is nothing, I've got plenty of it.
