Actually, I used to use a Gateway PCI 90Mhz system to browse websites (using 56K modem), but can no longer which basically shows that websites themselves have become worse.  People usually don't think about optimizing websites or even browsers thinking people will be using 1Ghz+ systems.  I am sure if CPU/modem speeds hadn't increased, people would still be optimizing their websites and browsers and they would be running much faster on old PCs and Amigas.  Some people still sit down and think of how to squeeze more features into a 4K Atari 2600 Cartridge whereas more and more PC gamers just try to get it working and recommend 128MB+ AGP graphics or something of that sort.  I saw one of the 'optimized' Aegis demos of airplane flying at 30fps that runs from a floppy disk and if you try to port one of the 30fps animation from a PC to Amiga, it probably won't run due to lack of CPU power or lack of storage.
