When I was a young boy and I was writing my first programs, I remember I was sad because they were fast, unlike other applications I used daily and admired, with their long splash screens and the hard drive constantly making noise whenever you performed an action. At that time for me, 'slow' meant 'serious'.

It's fun to see how things have changed today: ensuring performance is a critical part of my job, and DAMMIT WHY HASN'T THE WEB PAGE LOADED YET?!?

    I kinda get that rush when I make a text processing program and I get the results back ten seconds later from a large piece of text.

    In my beginner days I used time.sleep() in python to make it look as if the calculations is taking some time... same reason as you mentioned.. :D
