You can also see performance improvements in processes that do I/O by having a low priority process running that does nothing but run an infinite loop. This keeps the computer from switching to idle CPU states during the I/O. This was on Linux, there is probably an OS setting to accomplish the same thing, but it was pretty counter-intuitive.
