My frustration comes from the fact that my CPU time is being stolen from me because of bad mechanical and software design. I'm not even notified of it. If there were some way for the OS to over-ride or even be notified of these events I'd have less of a problem with it. As it is now, poor system design is affecting OS design more and more.
