It's an exaggeration 10x but yeah MBs is not unheard of

edit: it's funny there was this cool sports car demo with scrolling animations and if you looked at the code, it loaded like a 1000 images to do the animation

I think if you open the Network Inspector more often, you'll find that you weren't actually exaggerating at all.

Resource utilization has basically zero headspace for many developers now, and even less among non-technical stakeholders (who fundamentally rely on engineers to bring it to their attention).

Things are really bad these days.

It's so rare for developers to care about performance that when you find someone who actually does, it makes quite a splash.
