You cant be serious.... 125 years of continous product development has made today's 2004 films/processes better in just about every parameter you can imagine and much faster film speed to boot. I bet todays best 400 color neg films smokes the 100 speeds of the 60's let alone match it and that is only a 30 year old film not a 125 year old film.
I do not agree that the goal of film product engineers is to just improve speed. Their goal is to improve the film in every parameter they can. So if we have a new film with different spectral characteristic that is actually wider ( ala pan film vs ortho ) or more accurate some might complain the new film isnt exactly the same as the old one and they probably are right, its most likely BETTER.

Examples please, stating specifically which samples, and including full information regarding grain structure, colour response exposure slope and RMS granularity.
