What is making you go out and get another operating system for your current box? Your current machine won't last forever, so when you finally update you'll benefit from the extra power when you buy the new one.
I'm a development manager - so I fully understand "lazy" developers. I take great pains in making my guys write efficient code. It's the era of the API (app programming interface) - which is a modular way of building an application via building blocks. It is a cost-effective way to do things - unlike writing code from scratch each and every time. It delivers inefficient (somethimes) code, but at least is affordable in this day and age where apprentice programmers expect $100k off the bat.
