i agree, but i think that ship sailed a long time ago... i think we passed the point where the speed of the internet is an embarrassing reflection on the programmers involved about 15 years ago now though... the bugs in the browser layer alone are embarassing enough - let alone the sheer number of layers and volume of redundancy, bugs and resource spunking involved all the way down. that moderately recent post about fixing memory usage in firefox by doing very common sensical and normal things instead of assuming memory is some kind of endless resource... i had to check it wasn't april 1st. their final memory footprint is embarassing let alone what they started with. :/ i can see the lapse of time between pressing a key and seeing a character... this was much less often the case in 1995 with 1% the horsepower - rose tinted glasses aside :/
