@professionalbigot69 no, I don't think so. if something ran well on hardware that's 1/20th the power of modern hardware and runs like shit now, obviously the software has gotten much worse

every real problem has a lower bound, a minimum, for how much computing power is required to satisfy the requirements. this bound is much, much, much lower than you think it is. anything that requires a tremendous amount of compute is optional, without exception
