We tried to do that with time cheating.  We hurt people with PL badly.
The end result we found that we could not compensate or limit certain

<Overfiend> Don't come crying to me about your "30 minute compiles"!!  I
            have to build X uphill both ways!  In the snow!  With bare
            feet! And we didn't have compilers!  We had to translate the
            C code to mnemonics OURSELVES!

<Overfiend> And I was 18 before we even had assemblers!
