Generally, I just meant that I remember in the 1980's and 90's, people
used to joke about Emacs being enormous. On 80's workstations, it might
take all the memory in your machine just to run an Emacs session. Now I
can't think of many programs that are friendlier to your resources.
Emacs didn't change though -- the standards of "normal" did.
