I will never understand when a company/government entity pay people a high salary then give them crap or low-end hardware. You should be maxing out dev machines and the rest of the company should rarely see a spinner or have to wait on their tech. It's a huge waste of time that you are paying for. I once calculated how much time I wasted waiting on slow processes at a job and then multiplied it by my effective hourly rate... I could have bought multiple maxed out MBPs with the money they lost, it's ridiculous. Also it's not just the time they spend waiting, it absolutely slaughters productivity, focus, and motivation.
