It's been stop and start. Computers are fast whenever I do things that haven't changed in a while, where I know the workflow and can expect stability. They're slow when I'm confronted with more things to learn and it's buggy and uses new tech stacks generously. The feeling of fastness isn't just the literal latency of pushing buttons and seeing things appear, but also how well the task has actually been optimized: sometimes "sending an image" can feel slow because the task has been made more complex, for example, because I don't know where the image was saved.
