There are many people running *BSD and Linux machines who may not be doing heavy development, but still need to compile the latest mplayer or Mozilla sources. Some of them are students who have a completely working machine, virtually no income and no need to buy a new computer besides GCC. GCC and mplayer are the only two programs which tax my five year old CPU over twenty seconds. Saying I should just spend $400 to upgrade a machine that works just fine to support an application which ran on a VAX just fine at one point in time seems a little unreasonable.
