I'm counting the users equally. There are hundreds of millions doing web browsing and
word processing, and vastly fewer running Handbrake video compression. The numbers
matter.

It shouldn't be doing any (non-network) IO at all, so your 2) is questionable. And I
don't think it's all about network bandwidth. Even on fast local network some kinds of
pages take noticeable time to render. And I've read of various efforts to speed it up,
using threading or GPGPUs, which suggests that other people than me think it's a real
issue. Present some evidence for your analysis.
