Sad to say but it is not as perfect a world as I would like either, and we must accept that we grade on a curve. If my Pismo were as fast as my 733 G4 then my 733 G4 would actually be faster and my basis for comparison would go up. Or if OS 9 had never run on a PowerBook then I couldn't compare OS X to it on the same hardware for speed. It would be nice if they were faster in response time but it is to be expected of all things.
On a side note, mine is a 400/768/40GB and the biggest speed increase I have seen since getting to 384MB of RAM was adding a 5400rpm drive over the 4200 that had been there. In fact that sped it up more than bringing the RAM up to 768 it seems sometimes.

I'm not saying it is slow, I'm saying it's not responsive. The 1/3 second delay it takes a window to refresh is not much but should not exist on a 2001 computer. I have a 30Gb HD and it's only half full.
