If modern software were as optimized as it had to be to run on Pentium 4’s and PowerPC G5’s it’d be amazing on modern hardware. Photoshop 7/CS1 was pretty zippy on a decent PowerMac back then for instance, which would lead one to expect that a similarly well optimized graphics editor would be practically instantaneous on a M3 Max or Ryzen 7950X with how ridiculously more powerful that hardware is, but no such editors seem to exist.
