    Welcome to devRant! It is counterproductive and a productivity deterrent. A concise analysis may sway managements mind.

    If I have an opportunity over the next couple of weeks I will do a ROI analysis on upgrading. Are other devs encountering this type of issue?

    Technically your time is their money too. Even if it takes an extra 10 minutes a day. That really adds up quick. In 6 days it's already a free hour they paid you for.

    Same thing here, 4GB workstation for SQL Dev or BYOD

    16gb ram, i7 2.4ghz here.

    But enough security software installed to cause the most mundane actions to take forever: 10secs to open a webpage, 2 minutes to compile simple console app.

    Also no admin privileges, and not allowed to change os.

    luckily we can bring our own device

    that's why we now have SSD drives. Someone sat down and did the math on compile time and it paid for itself in a few months. Hooray for management sometimes listening.
