The silicon just won't go any faster. What do you want the electrical engineers to do? Moore got you hooked on his junk and now his supply's been cut off. People tried to switch you to something more sustainable, i.e. anything but x86 and C, but you couldn't wait for your fix.

A real hacker should be happy that there are fresh new problems to solve. Or, if you just want to get shit done, use a dynamic language and be glad that CPU speed is rarely an issue any more.
