A lot of the bloat comes from inefficient coding - after all, I can put
32 GB of memory in a machine nowadays, so why do I need to worry about
optimisation?
The type of optimization that was taught in CS classes in the early 90's
doesn't seem to even be a concern any more because "the machines are fast
enough and have enough memory that it doesn't matter if we're sloppy in
our coding".
