Reminds me of my hp48 calc, which original system was often .. sluggish, but with enough input buffer and predictability (stack + RPL) meant that it was actually beneficial since it forced you to learn things by heart and anticipate more, and the pauses would serve as thinking time for your brain. A rare kind of slow and laggy turning out to be fun.

Also impressive how our brain is sensitive to all of this.. no matter how impressive a current OS / web browser / jitted js is.. I dearly miss the past eras "behavior".
