I remember that about Amiga. Everything was just smooth. I still have fond memories of Cygnus editor being super-responsive to anything I could throw at it, even with SAS C running in the background.
I was taken aback by how slow Windows 95 felt after I finally jumped the wagon and retired my beloved Amiga in favor of a PC, circa 1995. Just moving the cursor was incredibly jerky in comparison and things would randomly freeze for seconds for no apparent reason. Windows NT 4 was much smoother though.
Even today, in Visual Studio, I regularly have multi-second pauses between a key press and the character showing-up on the screen, though this probably has more to do with Resharper than either Visual Studio or Windows.
