gollark: I'm quite confident that the majority of user-facing ~~ones~~ computer systems have most of the development effort invested in random applications software which doesn't need to be hyperoptimized.
gollark: The top end grows, but most applications actually aren't that.
gollark: Computers are ridiculously powerful and more than capable of running most general purpose things anyone cares about very fast, if those things are sanely implemented. We know this because they can continue sort of usably working despite JS and such.
gollark: They're already very fast. Unless you're doing some very time sensitive data processing you can afford bounds checks and such in your code.
gollark: In most situations faster computers cost less than broken software.
