>I don't use a high-end laptop and I'm not eager to upgrade is because I can relate to the average user of the software I develop.

Thank you so so much. It's insane how it feels like the speed of much of our software hasn't improved or even regressed despite the gigantic advancements made over the years. People really don't seem to care about this.

I had an argument about it with a senior colleague regarding some industry software. He figured it wasn't worthwhile to improve the speed of some table fetching and calculations that people actually had to wait on since it would only amount to a bit more than a second or so on top of the regular slowness of it all.

A second that had been multiplied on at least 20 pc's each going trough it at least a 100 times a day of more than 260 times each year over at least 10 years so far. Turns out more than 5 million seconds is a lot of man-hours which whilst cheaper than ours amount to manyfold what it would have taken to fix it.
