Just what are these resources that we are using more efficiently? CPU? RAM?
Are they that important? Should we not be trying to use electricity more efficiently since that is a real world consumable resource. How many connections can you handle per kilowatt hour?
Generally electricity use is roughly proportional to CPU and RAM usage, as they're powered by electricity. If you have two otherwise identical programs, one of which uses 50% of the cpu and the other of which use 10%, chances are the latter will use less electricity.
