Wrong.  System 7.5 will run on a 68000 Mac.  

: A 68030 is quite too slow for System 7.5.

It is?  Damn.  I guess that means I'll have to take it off of my 33 MHz 
68030 Mac.  Even though it doesn't feel slow at all.  Or have you ever 
*seen* 7.5 on an older Mac?

: The MacOS has a poor performance, much of the processor power is eaten up.

That's interesing.  Wrong, but interesting.

True, some things (like disk access) aren't as fast as they could be, but 
if you had bothered to check up on things, you'd find that overall, MacOS 
only "eats up" 3% of the CPU time on a Mac.

But thanks for reminding us of those same old myths about MacOS...
