OS/2 is one of the only operating systems that I know of where a version successor actually had lower hardware requirements (assuming you already had a 386. If you were on a 286 then not much changed) than the version it replaced. You could upgrade from OS/2 2.1 to OS/2 Warp without upgrading hardware and it would run faster. By that time though, it was too little, too late. It speaks to how inefficient OS/2 2.1 was.
