This task only takes 2 minutes!

...but if that 2 minute job occurs 1000 times, it's 33 man hours.

That's only 100 users doing the same thing 10 times each.

If you have 1000 users who need to do this once every day at work, that's 200 times per person per year,  or 6 1/2 hours per year per person, and per 1000 users this is 6666 hours or 277 full 24 hour days or 833 8-hour work days, days, or 4 employee years (@200 days per year) + 33 days.

So the 2 minute task is quite the time (and money) sink!
