For people who work with computer science and computer related researches , every extra clock cycle is useful.
Please remember that we are talking about the hardware requirements of the *operating system* which is not performing any of those tasks. Whatever the OS requires is what *everyone* using it would need, not just what a power user running simulators would need. Do not confuse the OS hardware requirements with the requirements of any given application.
