> There was a saying back in the 1990's that developers should be forced to use obsolete hardware to assure that their software was usable for the regular user, and its even more true today I noticed this "problem" when ssd's came out as well when it came to physically noticing slow queries while developing. Something that used to be perceivable because it took a second to return results suddenly wasn't perceivable because it was taking .2ms, but the problems and inefficiencies were still there being masked by the faster speeds of the drives.
