Perhaps part of the problem is that, there are so many people using WordPress in this day in age that the things you don't used are being used by some other group of individuals giving those features at least a little bit of worth. But, I think a good example of what you are talking about is the search in the admin panel. Who uses that thing lol.

Ah yes, Good point Jeff. I never even knew it was there and I don't see the point.
I said as much in the survey.

Occasionally I go back to WP 1.5 to check out the backwards compatibility of something, and I'm always amazed at how much faster the admin for 1.5 is.
I sometimes think that WP would be better as a stripped-down core package, with much of the popular stuff---TinyMCE, Widgets, Auto-upgrade, etc.---as bundled plugins. There would be a number of benefits for speed, security, and flexibility.

Dito, this would really be the solution. WP 2.6 and Dreamhost for example at the moment...really hard when it comes to performance.
