Why would you use this?
I just have one question. How is this a MacOS X hint?
This is something that will work on any *nix system, and really doesn't seem to hold any real value to the average user (unless I am completely unaware of some group of people who like their computer to run slow). Perhaps what this site needs is a "Stupid Computer Tricks" section, or something...
Why would you use this?
hey no flames please!
Testing...
I used it last night to see what would happen with iMovie rendering an effect, iTunes playing, and the CPU struggling ... amazingly enough, not much happened at all! But mainly it's a mildly amusing diversion.
Why would you use this?
I was having problems with my machine crashing on high loads. This hint would have helped me immensely when I wanted to artificially increase CPU loads to troubleshoot. (Ended up Dual 1Ghz was overheating. Silver thermal compound on CPU's solved issue)
Why would you use this?
I'm currently working on an iMac that presents an issue only when the CPU is under heavy load. This hint makes it a snap to reproduce the problem. I for one would like to thank the original poster for this hint. |
