Adam's Law Of Software Advances:
People On The Internet always believe that any particular incremental
change produces something faster than before ('Firefox 3.5.6 feels much
snappier than Firefox 3.5.5!'), but that everything is always slower
than it was in previous major versions / years ('Man, Firefox 3 is so
much slower than Firefox 1!')
(Appendix 1: the word 'snappier' is always used in this context.)
