I notice, broadly, two types of people who engage in these arguments.
1> OMG, computers are thousands of times faster than they were a decade ago, why is everything not lightning fast? Why are so many things slower than they were back then? Why is my chat program eating 2GB(!) of RAM?
2> Because we're busy writing six billion features on our Nth iteration of this problem space, we can't be bothered to shave a few millis bro!
