I've found this so often, I have a dual Xeon and 16GB of RAM and a calculator of all things taking more than a second is unacceptable.

I got a popup inside the calculator asking for feedback about it once with an inbuilt form and submission. I can only assume it has toooooons of hidden away cruft that does everything but assist in calculating things.

I can see it now.

Manager: All apps have to use this feedback framework now, no exceptions. Getting feedback is super important so we can be more Agile!

Dev: ok... uh, but this is 40x the size of all of calc.exe. Plus it's just a calculator and we've refined it for years so it's pretty good already. Isn't that kinda nuts?

Manager: metrics! Feedback! Agile! Just do it!
