The one thing that has not changed over the 20 years since BeOS was around is waiting for the computer to respond. We still wait, except now we're often waiting on network rather than OS latency for that button to indent, or do something.
I find it very noticeable, not least as in terms of those basics we seem to be stepping backwards for responsiveness.
Loading software should be quicker, but no one cares about space and size any more, especially as more and more becomes a front for a browser. Even native software is faintly disappointing. You load a game in seconds from the lightning fast SSD then it takes 2 min to load the save as that's bigger than some OS's. :)
