I have 5 programs open right now - Firefox, Visual Studio, Word, Photoshop and a terminal.

Out of these 5, only Firefox loads faster than it did on a 512MB Windows XP machine 20 years ago, the other 4 are at least a few times slower.

Maybe it's a Windows thing? My M1 Air is way quicker than my XP laptop of years ago was.

Though Vista on a cheap laptop was an epic peak of slowness where you could wait a minute for a right click menu to appear.
