Yes, unfortunately that much is still true, for a lot of applications.

It's not that my desktop runs every application super fast, there is 
still a lot of slowness and slugishness, but they are caused by badly 
designed code or other problems. Some of them might not even be affect 
by a hardware spec change at all (like code that does long-running or 
IO-blocking operations in UI-thread, etc.)
