This is a short write-up on a much longer blog post, so if you didn't click the link embedded in the article text, I recommend you read Julio's original blog post.
My computer fell on its side a few months ago. Now when I run video games it stutters. I could fix it for $80 and a couple hours of labor, but then I remembered that nothing I play is optimized and it all runs like shit anyway.
Can confirm 90 percent of modern software is dogshit. Thanks electron for making it worse.
There's also the load from having fancy graphics, like transparency and fading window transitions.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
