being a very simplicist minded but unpractical person, I feel Amiga multitasks better compared to other operating systems. Switching between programs performs much better (instant?) compared to my 800mhz p3 which I suppose is faster than my 060-50. This must be because of Amiga not using virtual ram. If Pc didn't need VR maybe Win XP could do better. (NOT)
But when using Warpup applications, they seem sluggish under heavy CPU load (must be the context switches)

We can all accept that AmigaOS handles a few tasks much better than Windows does. But Windows handles lots of tasks (which it does so badly) better than AmigaOS.   (all these valid given similar environments) (s*** I hate trying to explain things that I am clueless about) (but I try)
