Probably rose tinted memories. Here are actual Amiga 500 speeds:

Not only it takes a second just to redraw a moved window (with mid-way frames and flashing in between), opening a tiny program is slow and shows the "zzz" busy indicator.
I do not doubt X was horrible from that pov. I remember R5. This is not that I meant.
edit: there were no web browsers back then. the effin "folder browser" opens slower on my xfce4 than the same in an a1200 emulator in a window next to it. this is sad.
