That reminds me of the reasoning behind wanting faster processors in our personal computers. From one (mistaken) perspective, you could argue that there is no justification for buying a faster processor because it will just be idle for more than 97% of the time you use it. The better argument is that we are justified in desiring a faster processor because the length of the CPU bursts is a much more important metric.
