When I was younger and felt like playing a prank I would adjust some
meaningless parameters on someone's computer and tell them "this will make it
run about 5% faster, but you probably won't notice it". With such a
challenge they usually responded by becoming totally convinced that I had
improved their machines considerably and that they could feel the 5%
difference!
It's great if someone is happy with their machine. But if we are going to
make changes that affect millions of people then we need some numbers.
