It is true. Many stupid programming design, and other stuff, results slowly. They say, type two words and push F3, well, you can implement a telnet (or SSH) service which provides such a program. Or, better may be, what I thought of "SQL Remote Virtual Table Protocol". You can access remote data using local SQL, allowing you do make cross-referencing data, both with the same and with different data sources. Of course, there is still going to be network latency regardless what you do. But many local programs are still slow (as many comments mention), also due to doing too many things, I think. (Maybe network latency may make it a bit slow even if you use telnet to implement the old interface now, but not as slow as with HTML, which is just bad for this kind of things.) Modern user interfaces I think are also bad, and makes it slow. I hate touch screens, and slightly less hate mouse. Command buttons and toolbar icons are bad and keyboard is better, I think. There are some uses for mouse, but it is way overused.
