Minecraft is still notoriously slow. If you've tried hosting your own Bukkit/Spigot server, you'll know how memory intensive it gets with basic plugins. I'm actually thinking about running some benchmarks to see performance levels.

From that perspective (hosting a server), you've certainly made a valid point.

If you do get the chance to do It, It'll be quite Interesting to see how It performs via a benchmark.
