But what if it's 200% bigger? I remember reading an article that looked at the time it takes to load MS office under Windows. Even though computers over the last 15-20 years or so are much, much faster, the wall-clock time to get Word or Excel up and running has pretty much stayed constant. Granted, disks haven't kept pace with CPUs, but when your computer is 100 times faster and it still takes just as long... Is that a good trade off?
