First and foremost I am interested in performance - and (ashamed to say) 
ease of use is a factor due to time constraints.  I don't view myself as 
a rodent, but neither do I like looking in the mirror.

About the term "power user" - I've never been very comfortable with that 
term myself.  I have figured it has some slight meaning in the sense of 
someone making their computer work for them and doing something with it 
besides just e-mail, office aps and browsing.
