Joe, please read posts before you reply to them.  Dan was comparing
68k workstation running UN*X to 68k Macintoshes running MacOS.
Where the heck did you get Windows from his post?

Yes.  For straight, CPU intensive code, the OS is irrelevant (unless
you're comparing context switches, but that won't even be an issue
with the MacOS).  Next time, see how well it does with I/O intensive
code; write a 1GB file to the disk, while formatting a disk, playing
a sound, downloading a file with Z-Modem, ftping a file over the
ethernet, and editing a file, and you will see why the MacOS is
slow.
