I routinely have over 8 gigs of RAM chewed up by my browsers,
sometimes almost 14 GB... You need big boy PCs to be on the
Internet anymore. ;-)

I just did a quick memory usage test on our NMS box...
Firefox (google.com): 76MB in RAM
Firefox with Canopy 450 AP interface open, logged in: 84.5MB.. a
gain of less than 10MB of RAM usage.
Firefox with ePMP AP open, logged in: *170-185MB* in RAM. over
100MB RAM usage, to display the same stuff. Why?
IE (google.com): 64MB in RAM
IE with Canopy 450 AP interface open: 53MB (less than google!)
IE with ePMP AP interface open: *138MB*
Similar results with Chrome.. About 75MB difference.
eh.

older/slower machines take longer?

No shit.
So you're saying it's clock speed? I've no idea what my
phone does but I would be kind of surprised if the Galaxy
S3 and my phone vary too much in CPU (I think they're both
2013 products).

Yes they did, and it was definitely for the better.
Most of the improvements were based on some sort of
real world feedback.. That's how you make a good UI :D

This has been one of our biggest complaints
from day one.
The interface, while it has gotten slightly
more usable, is still
complete garbage. It's unpredictable, slow,
and inconsistent.. Let alone
the features that just don't work.
Why on earth did they not just stick with a
field-tested, fast, usable
interface from the Canopy line? Nobody buys
a radio for it's slide-out
menus and pretty HTML5 crap.
We need, fast, intuitive, consistent..
Forget the shiny.
grr
