that doing more work, takes more time.
Gamers are especially guilty of this.
"that 2013 game runs at a smooth 60 fps. This medern game running at quadruple the resolution with raytracing sometimes dips to 58 fps on the same hardware. Devs must be lazy, they just need to add OPTIMIZATION to the game
I don't know what it's called, but it's a common phenomenon: available room will be exploited. It's exactly why computers nowadays don't feel faster than computers from a decade or two ago: they do so much more because they can.
Stuff like electron would've been impossible in 2000 or 2005: it's just a behemoth in terms of computational needs and power consumption. Earlier computers would've struggled endlessly with it. Current hardware however makes it seem as fast as previous tech.
