I once worked with an OS where compilations went faster if you rested your finger on the space bar (or really: any key).

The priority logic said that the highest priority should be given to interactive users, to ensure e.g. echoing keyboard input on the screen as quick as possible. If a user process had been cpu bound for more than couple seconds (compilation of even moderately sized programs might take half a minute in those days), its priority was lowered to give preference to those actively typing a their keyboard. Once you hit a key, your process was raised to interactive priority, and let your lengthy compilation ahead of all other cpu bound processes. At least this worked until all the users had learned the trick, so that all lengthy compilations were competing for resources at interactive priority.

This was fixed in the OS once all the students at my University had learned the trick, but I do not exactly know what they did. The trick stopped working when a new OS version was installed.
