Logs show nothing out of sorts happening with the erratic IO. So the answer to this isn't going to come easily.
There's either something odd going on under the hood in Sierra or I have a hardware issue.
Inexplicable disk IO performance variances while compressing VM hard drives. Sometimes writes drop to no more than 4 per second. Everything else is practically at idle.
Need to see if that happens on the mini when I get home
@skematica I honestly think the Internet is responsible for a lot of this. Tech evolves a lot faster than we do. Entirely possible we aren't ready for the world to be this small yet.

@kdfrawg Just watching a government and media finally get a handle on how to use the Internet like they did "The Papers".

@skematica It's hard not to be cynical about it, but, the amount of progress away from narrow-mindedness in my lifetime has been startling.
Society is like a big ship. Takes both a while to change course and if you force the issue, you risk capsizing.
Still, we've come quite a long ways.

@skematica I can't remember, outside of messenger, the last time I used anything with the name Yahoo attached. Had to be in the late 90s.
@kdfrawg Deep down, I loath them. They keep me tethered to a world I desperately need to escape once in a while.
I miss the days of being on the road and being OUT OF REACH. Until you stopped at a pay phone and checked in with the office anyway.

@skematica Gotta show me one first.
Now if you'll excuse me, i'm off to worship my Android/iPhone/Politcal party/etc.
@skematica You just want to shake them and scream, "It's just a damned phone!"
People keep going on about an increasingly secular society but that's BS. Gods have simply been replaced by consumer electronics and pet causes.
Okay. That's enough Twitter for the next few days. Too many people having Politigasms
