Time for a stupid analogy:
Someone gives me a 2 watt power line and asks me to build a toaster:
So using my electronics ability and ingenuity I build a toaster that
toasts a piece of bread that was very carefully placed in it in about
15minutes.  

However things advance and he now hands me a 2 Megawatt power line
and says ok buid me a toaster,  and I throw together a toaster that
toasts bread in about 1 minute.  (The most work going into making sure
the user does not electrocute himself.) He then comes back and complains,
I gave you a million times as much power and you only give me a factor
of 20 speedup!  Power engineering sure advances faster than electrical!

Disclamer: As should be obvious by now, I know nothing about constructing
appliances.   This story is not true, and the names have been changed to
protect the innocent and all that stuff.
