When something happens in 1/10th the blink of an eye, increasing
speed by a factor of 10 has virtually no perceptible effect. You have
to be running some very powerful programming, running extremely
complex calculations, to see any difference past a certain point
(which I believe has already been excededm on most home computer
systems. The resat of the sysyem already cannot keep up with the
processor in most cases.

Yep, most users won't see much of a difference for web surfing or text
editing.

I do a lot of video editing, so that's where I usually notice improvements
the most. My last upgrade dropped my processing times from 6-8 hours down
to an hour or two. That's a nice improvement, but all other operations are
basically the same.
