I would say that a lot of the time software just keeps getting slower as developers care less about efficiency. I'm not talking about stuff you can't get to run faster. If people had the same kind of care they had in the 80s and 90s, the software would be incredibly fast. But these days they can be more careless. Sometimes it's a good thing, as things ship faster and frameworks are more expressive. Other times, though, it's a PITA. Like when half the time we upgrade just to run the ton of bloatware from different vendors on the web / multitasking OSes at a decent speed. Chrome is usually the biggest hog on my machine. Or like when Apple's iOS keeps making the iPhone slower with every version, until you're practically forced to upgrade. Is it really that hard to make an OS which hardly does any major multitasking from getting slower and slower with every release? One almost wonders if they do it on purpose ;-)
