> Just loading up it takes 5GB of RAM
Not taking it up is not utilizing the hardware properly.

Taking it up for no visible performance gain is wasting, not utilizing.

Oh, believe me, it is very visible. You can test this easily on a desktop PC. Start it & browse websites when 10+ GB of RAM are inserted and when 2 or 4 are intserted.

This is only true if:
1. There aren't other processes that need to share the system.
2. There are no spikes in memory usage.
Neither are true. The less memory each component uses the more you can run at once and it will likely be faster too.
* A developer who produces faster code is more expensive to hire.
* Any developer - good or bad - will deliver the same feature faster if they implement it naively, rather than digging deep and optimizing it.
* A slow implementation might cost less to maintain later.
* The vendor doesn't pay the cost of their code being slow. It's the customer that has to pay for the hardware upgrade.
I can't wait for CPUs to stop developing. Companies will have to return to efficiency in order to actually support more features.
What does Windows really do now more than my Windows 95 PC? It connects to the network, browses files and can load a web browser. Why does it need to be so bloated just to sit there ready to load a web browser
