Unrelated but a "sleep story" nonetheless. Several years ago worked on a desktop Qt app and I spent several weeks juicing platform flags, caching stuff on save to start faster, slimming down the mainwindow classes, everything I could to get the app to boot in under several 500ms down from 5+s only to be told by my boss that it was too fast and he wanted to see the splash screen so after all that to this day, there is a `sleep(rand(x, y))` call somewhere in that codebase.
