cycle drought
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."
