I'm glad somebody else feels this way, when my Amiga 1200 runs smoother than most modern computers you know something has gone horribly wrong.

Yes, my washing machine also runs completely smoothly. One turn of the dial and it has selected the correct program without any lag!

Apples and Oranges.

I just had my whole Mac lock up after beginning the extraction of a xip archive. It is absolutely unacceptable for the UI to stop responding no matter how much load my computer is under.

My Amiga never did this because the whole user interface was interrupt driven, it wasn't possible for any of the bloated trash running to deem itself more important.

Yes, I edit 12000x12000 Photoshop images in real-time on my TRS-80 Model 4 every day. Kids these days.

How big are the images you view on it?
