Every time I fire up an Apache Tomcat and it burns several gigabytes of memory to somehow run a simple web service very slowly...

A more famous example might be Minecraft, where even with its blocky graphics it can tax a high end gaming machine when you turn the view distance up to a range that almost no other engine would consider long. The engine has been rewritten in other languages where it is much faster, notably the Microsoft version and the Phone version.
