- JohnBooty 3y agoApplication "bloat" is one obvious thing, but operating systems are also doing a lot more "work" to open an app these days -- address space randomization, checking file integrity, checking for developer signing certs, mitigations against hardware side channel attacks like rowhammer or whatever, etc. Those things aren't free. But, I don't know the relative performance hit there compared to good old software bloat.
