Deep down, the optimizer in me wants this to be true, but I'm having trouble seeing how this difference manifests in these days of super powerful devices and high bandwidth. I guess I just answered my own question though. Supposing there's a system which is slow and connected with very slow connectivity and still sending lots of data around, I guess there's your answer. An embedded system on the Mars Rover or something.
