Where have all the fast programs gone

I remember the days, not long gone, when programs I wrote did not run for hours, or minutes, not even for seconds. And here I stand, celebrating the ability to finish a relatively simple instance, of a relatively well studied problem in 26 seconds. Admittedly this is exciting since it gets this to a point where running tests on this program is not a pain, but where oh where have all the fast programs gone. And will they ever return.
