It also adds disappointment into the mix when you think about how sold we were on Moore's Law back around 2000. I thought it would keep going for decades. Instead mame performance gets small, boring incremental improvements with new processors. It's not worth upgrading most of the time unless you are rich or need the performance for other PC work. Back in the day you could go from 300 Mhz to 1,000 in a PC tech jump and see exciting improvements in mame and be all smiles. These days we move around in mud. I could spend a thousand dollars upgrading to get a 10% mame performance increase. No thanks I'll spend it elsewhere.
