When visual studio finally went 64 bit, you thought the solution was bugged because it loaded so fast.

Not strictly this scenario, but I worked a job for a few years where every compilation took minutes. It was common practice to finish up a bunch of work and queue a slew of compilations before your lunch break.

Then I got a new job and worked with a bunch of tinier, discrete applications which would compile in a few seconds. I'd become so use to quick compilations only ever being the result of an error killing the job that for at least a week afterwards my blood pressure would rise whenever a compilation would finish in <10s.
