That happens to our computers sometimes in the student computer labs and physics lounge. They are hooked up to the network and sometimes a research group runs their program/simulation off of all of them at once, grinding the computer to a halt on everything else. I don't mind sharing, since I only ever browse my email or wikipedia for help with homework so I don't use much of the computer anyway, but shouldn't I get preference over some program running in the background? I can't even kill it or limit its CPU usage.
