All of them.
There has been a steady march of applications gobbling up (or wasting) more cycles and memory as performance improved. I do not see how 'working fine right now' is an argument on how this march is suddenly stopping right now. Lotus-123 or WordPerfect also worked fine back then, but Office still gets bloated to the edge of usability today. As for browsers, just look at the enormous expense browser vendors go through to optimize every aspect of their software, you do not do that if you have a lot of performance headroom.
What I am trying to say is that it is short sighted to say that we won't need more performance. Applications are like an expanding gas and performance is the container.
