Thanks Antoine. We definitely need to push back on such "expectations" and turn them into facts by performing careful measurements. Surprises lurk everywhere. See e.g. https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/109#issuecomment-975619113 <https://github.com/faster-cpython/ideas/issues/109#issuecomment-975619113> (and watch the Emery Berger video linked there if you haven't already).Surprises indeed. When I discussed this with my daughter after watching it, she told me that the Sims 2 with multiple mods and multiple player characters, the game loaded very slowly, taking several minute on machines of the time.

Someone even wrote a renamer program.
