"I have a short attention span, a very short one, and I have very, abnormally poor energy levels, to such a point that while my physical strength can be up to snuff, my mind is always running at 8Mhz. I am a programmer. This is a problem. However, I find that some places are better to code at than others. If I can sit somewhere upright, looking down at the monitor, in a comfortable position, I can sometimes get some work done, and if my monitor is large, soft, and bright, I am better off still. Do soylentils have issues with location? What would you suggest for being able to sit down and code for hours, something I have NEVER been able to do?"

I'm not a robot like you. I don't like having disks crammed into me... unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth.

A lot of what is posted above is removing many of the interrupts from being triggered. AC makes a good point, instead of just focusing on removing interrupts, you could also work on improving the volume of work performed between interrupts. Of course, you'll have to have great bandwidth to swap out page files efficiently. But if it is a matter of improving the pipeline, like upgrading the HID device from a 2-finger, 10.2 words per minute transcoder to a 22 words per minute touch-typist, you'll be able to complete more tasks before you'll be required to swap out RAM during an interrupt.
