sup, bitch?
yes they are faster but not proportionally to the rate of improvement. I have 1000x the amount of ram, 20x the number of cores, each of which is 100x faster, and 100x the disk IO speed of a computer I had 25 years ago. but it feels about 5x faster.

this is all in our stupid brain, btw. if you sat in front of a 100 mhz pentium machine running windows 98 on a pata hard drive and tried to do your normal workflow your eyes would bleed. opening a single browser window would take tens of seconds.
