The point is that more processor speed expands your possibilities only if you are smart enough to actually use it. Lazy (dare I say "blub") programmers are being left in the dust.
(Of course, this isn't the first time some programmers have resisted change. I remember a great rant about how if you program in assembly and never hit in the cache, the Pentium 4 was no faster than the Pentium III and thus useless. That guy probably quit programming entirely when multicore arrived.)
