cycle drought
:cycle drought: n. A scarcity of cycles. It may be due to a {cycle crunch}
, but it could also occur because part of the computer is
temporarily not working, leaving fewer cycles to go around. "The {high moby}
} is down
so we're running with only half the usual amount of
memory. There will be a cycle drought until it's fixed."
