I'd say this is particularly important in certain environments where this efficiency is really needed. That would include a lot of stuff from gaming to manufacturing.
That's not to say you can't leverage both desktop and web applications. For example, a lot of the new stuff I'm working on (when not stuck in legacy town) uses web services for a lot of things but when I need to work with barcode readers, PLCs or scales, it has to be a desktop app running the show.

I guess the difference between us that I think that efficiency is always important. Wasting your resources for inefficient software will degrade your computer performance, kill more forests because of the additional energy needed ;-) and, even worse, make you wait. A computer is a tool. Inefficient tools need to be replaced by more efficient tools until you can't notice a difference anymore.
