One thing I notice while playing video games is that having an SSD doesn't help that much once the game is loaded. This is because game devs think about file access and make sure that it is optimized. It would be nice to just get something like eclipse that takes 5 minutes to become usable and slows down all the time because it is hitting the file system without any regard for performance.

Due to a jar locking problem I'm having to restart eclipse several times a day and it is so painful watching it "build" and validate all this code when my real build happens on the command line.

I wish video game developers would start writing IDEs for other reasons like graphics as well. They seem to be the only ones who understand flow and how disrupting it is for a program to just become unresponsive for even a few seconds.
