I don't care about CPU speed (my Desktops have netbook-class CPUs), only
about noise, keyboard (and pointing device) and screen's DPI.

For sync purpose, I have a script which does "commit+merge".
It's really the same as unison, except I have a history of changes, and
better conflict resolution.  Commits don't have any logical meaning, nor
"commit log" message in that case.

For things where I use DVCS for non-sync purpose, I typically use
a separate "work-mess" branch which I sync via "commit+merge" as above
without caring about commit messages or commit granularity.  And when
the work is ready, I move it manually onto a real branch where I "commit
properly".
