If websites and business software were as lean as they could be, most computers could have amazingly weak, low-powered processors.

I'm quite disenchanted with software myself. It takes way too long to open any program, for this JIRA ticket to properly display.

One thing that has improved was boot times, I seem to remember that Windows 7 was quite a bit faster than XP. Maybe someone in upper management wanted it to be as fast as MacOS? So speed IS possible, if it is prioritized.

I seem to remember boot times being a frequent topic of discussion the early 2000s, because people turned off their computers.

In a way, this is a great little microcosm of the problem. Just fix habits instead of fixing the software.
