"Don't take slow software for granted."
I wish more developers thought like that. As someone who usually uses hardware that is several years old, I'm always annoyed that my system seems to get worse and worse with every software "update" I do.

The first Mac OS X upgrades were similar, they made your old iMac do things faster.
I don't know how to make devs create non bloated programs, I often think we should give them really old systems to write on. Constraint drives creativity etc etc.
If it were up to me, I'd spend this entire year refactoring, but it's not.
Just give devs antiquated test/production rigs. That's entirely reasonable. A particularly frugal employer of mine refused to pay for a web/application server with more than 512MB of RAM. That was a fun job, actually.
