Yes. But things got even worse with Debian 9.

This is what I think a little unfair: I felt a "gradual" worsening,
release after release. Even in the time of starting up X, memory usage.

Interesting is that I kept this laptop for several years on Debian and
did not "add" packages, actually I just removed the nice IceApe and
never replaced it with firefox which would die on such an old machine,.

So standard console productivity (telnet, ssh...) , X11 and standard X
tools (xterm, such), minicom.
Then I have all development tools (gcc, gobjc, make, libffi) to compile
GNUstep, but those should normally just consume up disk space when not used.

And you update, update update... and things "look" the same but get
slower and slower...
On one side I would think fatter libraries, feature creep
independencies. Newer kernels... And then systemd!
