I expect that there will always be memory increases and improved instruction
sets.

The most dramatic jump I saw was for 66 MHz 486 to 90 MHz Pentium.  The MHz
difference is quite small, but the improvement in performance is dramatic.

So, from hardware platform to hardware platform, we are going to see
improvements from:
Memory increase
MHz increase
Instruction set improvement
Scheduling improvement
Compiler improvement
Bus bandwidth
etc.
