Wireless seems to be a bugaboo for everyone, which is rather surprising 
to me.

Interestingly (at least mildly so), my machine has been hanging trying 
to log out, with some compute-bound process locking up for 2 or 3 
minutes when I log out. I finally got around to replacing a failing DVD 
drive, and all of a sudden, it's not failing again. I wonder how much of 
the "My Windows slows down over time" kind of complaint is just hardware 
that's wearing out and causing hangs during retries in places where the 
kernel really doesn't need to be waiting for retries.
