Simply put...I've seen Workbench take a while to load. However, it never seemed to take nearly as much time as Windows. I've used every version of Windows since 95, and they just seem to keep getting worse each time. I am going to be seeing XP64 soon, so we shall see. I do not want to see Vista though...UGH!
The beauty of the AmigaOS was something very simple. It was fast, effecient AND not a bloody space/memory hog. I can remember a time years ago, when NT4 came out. I was running my A500 with 1.5 RAM total and a 50MB hard drive under Workbench 2.1. I remember laughing at my friend with NT4 cause it required I forget how much space and RAM. I could multitask better than he could, using far less space. If I remember, the amount of space for NT4 would've been bigger than my A500 HD.
I still have that 500. If I dusted it off right now I know the thing would go. The same can not be said of the old 486dx50 I have for a prop. I doubt it would go, and I would be lucky to get anything on the box.
