Although the sliding window is a simple algorithm, it has some downsides. The biggest downside is the low performance:

Up until a few years ago, it was OK to use the sliding window, since the features were mostly composed by hand. This meant there were fewer weights to execute.
Now, we have VGG-16, which contains 138,000,000 weights, and these millions of weights need to be executed each time the window moves a step, and we need to do this for different window sizes.
It's clear that this method is almost unusable, especially for real-time object detection.
The second drawback is that the algorithm is quite ...
