I'd suggest that the development machine should ideally be comparable  
to the machine that the app is later deployed to ;)

Granted, this is a very special case but my laptop is really slow as  
hell and constantly overburdened by IDEA plus the rest of the apps  
necessary for day-to-day work :(

And to get serious again :) our app may work on my machine but it does  
so only by chance since it essentially contains code based on wrong  
assumptions...

Joern.
