  Anyway I would suspect most programmers are counting
on processors having
 more cores (and systems having more RAM)  in the time it takes for them to

While some people work like this, it isn't most.  I regularly
interact with a large community of developers outside my daily
employment, so I have data to back up my assertions, not just an
opinion I formed because 30 years ago I coded small character based
applications in 16K of RAM.
