I wish I was CPU bound, but it’s mainly disk at this point. The makefiles (yeah, I know…Makefile, not ant or maven) do massive copies and recopies… (Don’t ask me, ask google)[/quote]Makefiles…ouch. You guys have a continuous integration server setup somewhere? Use your local machine for module builds and have your CI server do full builds?[/quote]
Ha ha ha. CI… That’s a good one. No, unfortunately, my private stuff has no CI (yet)..
No, I don’t work for google. Just use their opensource project(s). And my builds are for private project use. So I have a server at home that does builds and one for the road. I spend more time with me and laptop than me and server.[/quote]You don’t need to work for google to use CI ๐
You should setup a SCM/CI server to host your code and do your builds. If you only have a copy of your code on your laptop you are just setting yourself up for pain. I’ve had 3 harddrive failures on development machines over the last couple of years. If I didn’t have my code in SCM on another machine (that is backed up) I’d have been screwed.

ParticipantI’m not really convinced that your compiles are disk I/O bound. I compile giant enterprise java projects and they are most definitely CPU bound. Disk activity is just blips here and there while the CPU (both cores) are pegged.
Just be thankful you aren’t running Windows. My compiles took 2x as long with the crappy windows I/O.
I’ve been looking at SSD’s for awhile but I think that the price/GB is still too high. I use my laptop for work and play which means that I have videos, mp3’s and photos on it. For development I have all kinds of different toolkits and frameworks, databases and dozens of source trees. It’s easy to chew up 40-80GB of space.
I do have a 1TB RAID5 NAS on my home network that I use for archiving stuff but I’d hate to have everything but a very slim slice of work related stuff on my laptop.
Buying an SSD won’t make sense for me until you can get one in the 120-150GB range for a reasonable price.

ParticipantI have a funky kitchen (50 year old house). There originally was no range hood over my range, just a hole in the ceiling that allowed passive air flow.
I finally had a range hood installed over it last year.
This is the one I had installed:

I love it. I can finally cook meat on the stove or boil water without the whole kitchen getting smoky or steamy.
