The bloat is pretty incredible. Consider my Amiga 500 could resize windows without lag on a ~7.1 mhz 68000 and 512K of RAM, almost 40 years ago.

Resizing was based on a wireframe system and windows weren't repainted during resizes.

    Yes, I agree, it's not apples-to-apples... but we're talking orders of magnitude in CPU, RAM, and "GPU" power.
