> the performance is worse. I point out the example of a small spreadsheet. Open it in Google sheets, and you are using 1/2 gigs+ in ram plus heavy cpu. Open it in a desktop app maybe you will use 20 to 30 mb of ram, and low cpu usage.
Performance, measured in human units--e.g. time to load, refresh, et cetera--is fine. That's what ultimately matters. The customers are the humans. Not the machines.
