Here's a (real) story. A program for a certain task is awfully slow, it takes ten to fifteen minutes to finish that task, and the computer on which it runs becomes almost unusable during that time. It is made faster, and now takes at most a few seconds for that same task. Its end users are not at all happy with that improvement: they were comfortable with the slow program, because it was a good reason/excuse to take yet another break in their workday.
