Makes me laugh. When I got my first computer in 1987 it took so long to load a small game from cassette that I could go downstairs, boil a kettle, make a cuppa, and bring it back to my room, and the game would be just about finished loading. Now people are moaning about an extra half a second lol

How things change.

No, the narrative here is that things used to be fast and idiot JS devs have made everything bloated and slow.

Computers are thousands to millions of times faster. So yes, that's a true assessment.

> millions of times faster

Unless you had a 3KHz processor (and no processor ever had that), that statement is just not true.

It's not about raw clock speed, or a Zen 4 would be as fast as a Pentium 4 :)
