CPU's may still be getting marginally faster; but typical data files are increasing in size at a much faster rate. My personal take is that seldom used and one-off requested features should not impact the performance unless those features are being used! This is easily accomplished by having the minimal/most-used functionality -- the fast(est) version of a primary function or method -- as the default; and then have the added-functionality version override that if and when it is required. Eg.
Poor example code, but hopefully explains my drift. With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
