@dcoderlt missing here: how did *latency* of hardware improve?
I’m asking because latency — not throughput — is what we feel when we interact with a computer, and negating the latency improvements is far easier than negating the throughput improvements.
See for example access memory times not getting much faster:

(though L1 cache did, but you’re fare away of that if you have to react to keyboard input)
@ArneBab
That’s a good point, but the overall situation — hardware is beating its chest about more and more performance, and interacting with software is unapologetically getting slower and slower — still sucks.
@dcoderlt Yes, software does seem to get ever slower.
Similar to the network getting ever faster but websites getting slower. Because internet latency is lightspeed bound. And physics does not budge. So websites must take that as hard constraint — but most seem to not do it.
Point about that: slow, simple tools make you dumber:
