As stated many times before, Mhz does not have all that much to do with the
actual speed.  The whole architecture must be taken into account... One thing
that slows down Macs is their CPUs handle EVERYTHING.  That includes mouse
and keyboard activities, floppy/hard disk controls... Really slows things down.
