Recently one of my professors apologized for her laggy computer "because I have so many PowerPoint presentations opened".
This is a terrible indictment of modern commercial tech. No reasonable laptop made in the last decade should struggle with ANY humanly possible amount of basic slide decks.
These university slide decks aren't any more complex than ones made in 1995 on a 66MHz Pentium 1 CPU with 16MB of RAM.
The wastefulness on display here in modern software is staggering.
