  Oh we still exist. I had this discussion not too long with a colleague about how some slowdown because of bloat he could have easily avoided was a very minor thing. Would require the dude that made it a day to change, would cost another half day to distribute, etc He found it really strange that i was so adamant about such a tiny bit of slowdown that nobody was probably bothered by until i after low-balling the amount of people using the software and amount of times they experienced that delay every workday over the past years calculated how much that had been in total and came out on months of lost time. Even if just a fraction of that ctime ould have been used it would have been worth it.
