I think the whole idea of speed is completely relative, to the user...
In my opinion drawing a simple picture is as fast on Dpaint as it is on any modern graphics package, in fact maybe faster on an Amiga because there were less complicated options and less pixels to push around!
The 'feel' of Amiga was definately faster because the programmes were smaller and much more 'economical' and out of the box, ready to use. There are a lot of labour saving devices on the PC but the more complicated and convoluted it gets the less attractive it is to work with. The modern PC is great at processing vast amounts of information but does that make it more enjoyable? hmmm Amiga wins for simplicity and user friendliness
