I remember using Word on an early Pentium and being able to type faster than it could keep up with, at a whopping 30wpm at the time. I'd type a paragraph or two, and wait. To make it responsive it had to be the only thing open. And if I could type at my current speed on that thing (~100-120wpm, keyboard dependent) I doubt even that would be enough. We just expected and did less (at once) with computers at the time. If I close everything on my computer today and only run one application, it's pretty damned responsive (unless it's MS Teams).
