Electronics design software. :) Most of the time is spent doing fine collisions with shapes coming out of an R-tree to build up a connection graph. For the vast majority of designs, it's fast. For very dense, imported designs, it can g

I don't know anything about SSDs, so I won't address that. (Though, it might be the same as RAM.) With RAM, you don't just say "Give me the 4 bytes starting at 0x10A6E780". Instead, a whole block of memory around th
