It misled me too - though I'm interested in the article anyway. I've emailed the mod team so hopefully the submission here will get a less context-dependent title soon.

Does anyone know if there's any reasonable timescale likely for this to happen? Last time I looked into the topic it seemed to be completely stalled, but I might well have been looking in the wrong places.

To a very casual observer (me) it seems like it ought to be simple, but I expect there are good reasons why it isn't.

Just before I installed an SSD was the last time I owned a computer that felt slow.
