I guess the system was fine tuned to the tiniest bit.

Nowadays computer power is high, network speeds as well. If I see how much RAM an Email or Chat Programme from a well known Company eats. ... or how many megabytes a simple webpage sends to load ... No need to tune your code?!

Just recall that I needed to setup my private PC in the end 90s anyway and out of curiosity installed Windows 3.1 - which was so blitzed fast, that I was seriously amazed.
