I agree and only recently looked at the RaspOS commands to see if there
were a 'task manager' like command to see what was going on with CPU
usage, etc.
My Pi5 fan comes on very rarely.
And the rock solid stability of Rasp OS along with the WeeWx being free
from bugs which cause shutdowns is also, in my my mind, legendary. I
have a 4.7 system running great on a Pi3 for over a year.
But to answer the question as to why: Two guesses come to mind. I grew
up at a time when minimizing CPU and memory were a higher grade on any
coding you did for the professor. That mind set is hard to abandon,
just like frugality that my mother instilled in us kids. I still turn
the lights off when I leave a room.
The second thing is some sort of basic personality that tinkers with the
old cars and gets one more horsepower out of the engine or getting the
rough idle out of the carb. Just bragging rights or a feeling of a job
well done.
Even if the vehicle we're given (WeeWx) is as good as it is.
