I've discovered an issue with my understanding of computers (or, with practical implementation of knowledge).
If I ask a local system (I'm working on it directly) to do 15 intensive things at once, and it slows down a bit, that's perfectly fine with me.
If I'm working on a remote system (usually over SSH) and doing a lot of stuff, I expect it to handle it flawlessly. I get annoyed when disk IO slows down if I'm tarring up a directory onto the same volume, running torrents, FTPing files to/from the drive, and compiling. I treat remote systems as "infinite hardware" - except they're not.
