For the last 2 years, despite all efficiency gains, I am literally watching characters appear on my screen, as if this was a hacker movie. Lately, I am also waiting for at least 60s for anything to appear at all.

If that happened at 10x the speed, I would still be slow in computer terms, and that increasingly matter, because I will not be the one reading the stuff – it will be other computers. I think looking back a few years from now, every single piece of silicon that is planned right will look like a laudable but laughable drop in the ocean.
