Please define "comfortable".

Here's a (real) story.  A program for a certain task is awfully slow, it 
takes ten to fifteen minutes to finish that task, and the computer on 
which it runs becomes almost unusable during that time.  It is made 
faster, and now takes at most a few seconds for that same task.  Its end 
users are not at all happy with that improvement: they were comfortable 
with the slow program, because it was a good reason/excuse to take yet 
another break in their workday.
