I gave up doing work on my development mac.  All editing and other important
things take place elsewhere.  The source gets transferred to the mac only
for compilation and testing.  At least I can make notes and ponder my source
while my mac clicks, buzzes, and reboots.  I don't see how anybody can cope
any other way.

No help here, of course.
