The question is - why - certainly not because CPU got less powerfull that
it's been 10-12 years back - but when gnome clock needs 30MB,
and rendering of html pages often takes over 100MB - and nobody cares about
any performance regression since new shiny i7 is so fast to 'mask' all
programmers faults and 32GB or RAM also needs some usage....
A consequence of Moore's law, and deflationary pressure on computer
technology. As that's changing, there's increasing pressure on code
optimization to get performance advances.
