[Matthew Cliffe]

The "everyone owns a mega computer so resources dont matter" is a silly
argument and just leads to sloppy work and lends itself as the "perfect
excuse".

I have 128 gig of ram on 2 of my machines so why should I suffer and have
programs only use 8 because you don't? Its a silly argument and a bad way
to go. Programs should be efficient, that doesn't mean minimal it just
means efficient.
