I have a Quad core CPU running at 2.4GHz with 4gb of ram, and a Geforce 8800GT video card with 512mb of ram. It becomes the family computer at night so my Sonny Bunny can play his computer games on it.
I have never seen my system brought to its processing knees. Till I started using Grasshopper. I'm not a computer programmer, but there appears to me to be a huge disconnect between Grasshopper and Rhino which is trying to display the 3d information. ParaCloud Gem is vastly faster in processing 3d information. It reminds me of the days when I bought an 8086 Math Co-processor for $800.00 so I could run AutoCad faster. It appears to me, we are losing computing power, through the trend of build application specific API's, and by stacking one scripting language, on top of another,etc. Its beyond comprehension why it now take 126mb of HDD space for Adobe Reader to read PDF files? The list goes on. Its not my intent to create a rant. The above is simply intended as a general observation.
