There was once a time when to run a 4-minute mile was considered
almost an impossibility. When it was finally done it was a very
impressive feat in the world of track and field. And since it has been
done many times over. Now, if someone runs a 4-minute mile, something
once thought perhaps impossible, it is no longer earth-shattering nor
even close to front-page news, even in a sports section.

The analogy may be a stretch but my point is if something does become
easier to do or can be done more quickly it often DOES matter to those
who look at the feat and how impressed or respectful they are of this
feat.
