I have definitely been in dozens upon dozens upon dozens of situations where a website or app struggled to do something that my dad's PC in the 90s could do fast enough for the modem to be the only bottleneck. And even then the P1 with the modem that ran into the phone line probably still wins out, which is disgusting given that its entire disk was smaller than the RAM on my phone. ROPs vulernabilities and lack of linux compatibility notwithstanding, i swear flash wasn't even half as bad as modern web crap.
