"For most computing environments, performance is the problem of two decades ago."
I've been hearing that performance isn't a problem for the last 20 years, yet it seems like I still spend a lot of time waiting for computers and devices to respond. I've worked in mobile and embedded (arguably not a small segment) for a while, and every major product I've released has had a last minute optimization scramble. The growth of these spaces (and now wearable devices) is only making this worse.
