What does your example show? That technological progress does exist?
How does this reveal the efficiency of free (is it?) market for
choosing best software and hardware solutions? You have compared old
computers with new ones, apples and oranges instead of comparing, for
instance, 32- vs. 64-bit processors, Pentium  vs. Alpha, C++ vs. Ada
95. Should you do that, probably, the result would be not so exciting.
