Wirth's law
Software gets slower faster than hardware gets faster.

It's because software vendors want to sell one package, yet their users have various demands. Thus, they pile all the features that are important to anyone into the one package. And they have to keep adding more, so they can sell upgrades. Microsoft Office is the poster child for this phenomenon, but it is by no means limited to that application or vendor.
