Could it be that software is written better for PowerPC? PowerPC systems seemed faster, but that was before all the software crud of the late 90's and 00's starts getting added. (Mandatory on Windows, optional on Amiga).
The machine (PC or Amiga) will slow down when a piece of software tries to overtax one of the components... CPU, memory or graphics.
If the OS is well tuned and there is no buggy software you will have a nice running machine. Trying to tune a modern OS would be a mammoth task and take several years to learn.

Boot the machine, launch a JIT emulation of a 68k processor and hand everything the Amiga has to do over to that, watch it flyyyyyyyyy :)


If you want rtg graphics workbench and more power then any Amiga has seen, run UAE on a 2GHz+ x86 system. Only trouble is, I don't have any software that can use that power.
I should have kept some of my productivity programs (from AGA era) it would have been nice to see them running with 3Ghz of power. If I could be bothered I might download some mp3/video programs from aminet and try them on WinUAE.
