No, I think the biggest changes are that
1) Processor speed is rarely the key limiting factor
and
2) Memory efficiency is much less a concern.
In the old days if you weren't a very good programmer you did something else. Today anyone can crank out code that works (linux anyone?). And processors are so fast that most people don't notice, as is evidenced by this thread.

Thats because you seem unable to grasp modern concepts.
None were under discussion.
If you think that performance criteria of modern controllers and processors are the same as 30 years ago, then you are incapable of commenting on anything modern.
The principles of "modern" controllers are surprisingly similar to those of "old" controllers. The biggest change is that the PC world is only now discovering what mainframe designers knew 40 years ago.
