> I look at memory profiles of rnomal apps and often think "what is burning that memory".
As a corrolary to this: I look at CPU utilization graphs. Programs are completely idle. "What is burning all that CPU?!"
I remember using a computer with RAM measured in two-digit amounts of MiB. CPU measured in low hundreds of MHz. It felt just as fast -- sometimes faster -- as modern computers. Where is all of that extra RAM being used?! Where is all of that extra performance going?! There's no need for it!
