It depends on the OS/application. My accelerated A500 at 14Mhz is perfect for playing VIRUS, my accelerated A3000 at 25Mhz makes the game almost impossible to play. The A500 is too sluggish for PageStream and PageRender 3D. Both these machines are running SCSI HDDs, so even sequential disk access is a tad slow (ha) compared to what's common these days. But for a lot of things, even running on 35 year old hw, the classic AmigaOS runs just fine compared to Windows 10 on an i7 or XEON CPU, etc. And you really can't beat Autoconfig and Datatypes, and all the other brilliant efficiencies of the OS. How much of today's CPU/RAM/NIC/SSD performance is sucked up by in-your-face advertising and behind-your-back telemetry?
