We'll just have to agree to disagree. I'm still trying to decide if I'm just being trolled. But no, when I program, I have a lot more going on. I have Postgres, Cassandra, and redis doing some work, another JVM instance running RubyMine or IDEA, possibly another JVM instance for the test runner, and maybe a VM. Nor do I shut down every other app on the system, so my email, chat clients, and browser windows are all open in the background. Usually a browser is open and available on the second screen so I can verify the results of my work (Web product) or reference API documentation. That workload in no way is represented by a Photoshop rendering test where that's the only task being run.
In any event, I no longer own a Mac. It would be an assault on the scientific process for me to provide steps for an experiment from memory and possibly use imprecise language or miss a step. Moreover, I fail to see what it would even gain in this case, since neither of us could do anything about the results. FWIW, I did switch to Linux natively on my MBP before outright replacing it and found I hardly ever swapped, so I exhausted my options to rule out bad hardware. I'm quite certain it was the OS, but even if it wasn't and I'm just a fool, at least I'm a happy fool with my switch and that's good enough for me.
