I did exactly what you told me to

I suggest reading up on how the SSH protocol works

There are people in this thread with actual experience and actual bench times using these protocols on machines of that period

You must be young. The gap between 1989 and 1999 in computer terms is inmense, far more than the gap between 2010 and 2020. You could emulate a 1989 m68k Mac/Amiga on a Pentium 3 from 1999, for example with BasiliskII/UAE.

Performance increase did not stop; smaller, better designs. The exponential is just a bit lower.

We don't realize it, just as someone using a text terminal may have not realised it between 1985 and 1995, if every response after a key press was already instant.

For typical GUI interfaces, tasks like tossing video data around, and so on, computers became approximately inifinitely fast sometime c. 2005 - 2010.

Eh, no. Windows' 10 UI latency it's abhorrent.

If any, current gens with Electron crap are doing it far worse. Far, far worse.
