I Waited 10B Cycles and All I Got Was This Loading Screen (preyneyv.dev)
Modern hardware is unbelievably fast. The M1 Max that I’m writing this article on runs at 3.2GHz. That is 3.2 BILLION clock cycles per second. Yet, Microsoft Teams takes 3 seconds to open a link, and I refuse to believe it takes 9.6 BILLION clock cycles to open a link. Obviously, that’s an over-simplification, but the point stands: how is it that hardware gets faster, but the applications we use only get slower?
