I agree with that, but I also realize many people forget to look at the
"cost" of waiting for something to complete. Leo Laporte says that when he
clicks on an app on his Mac, it instantly pops up without any wait.

The only problem is that the cost is still much higher.

Well, the cost of the drive is much higher. However, when you look at
the increased performance there's a productivity cost associated with
that too. In the Fog Creek example, devs are coding more since they're
waiting for builds less. So the net "cost" to the company could be
negative, they get more out of their programmers than the cost of the
drives.
