[Edit: I later found that I was generating quite a bit more than that, just didn't realize it because of the "matures in xx more blocks" concept. I still think it will be a major headache when the difficulty significantly increases though. I apologize for my silliness

Satoshi, I figured it will take my modern core 2 duo about 20 hours of nonstop work to create ฿50.00! With older PCs it will take forever. People like to feel that they "own" something as soon as possible, is there a way to make the generation more divisible? So say, instead of making ฿50 every 20 hours, make ฿5 every 2 hours?
I don't know if that means reducing the block size or reducing the 120-block threshold to say 12-block only or what, but because the difficulty is increasing I can imagine that a year from now the situation will be even worse (3+ weeks until you see the first spendable coins!) and we better find a solution for this ASAP.
