I never had any doubt in my mind. Macs are slow. They are built for de-
signers; they are built for 'showtime'. I would never want to run an ex-
periment on a candy Apple. Then again, it's an inevitable tradeoff. This
amateur benchmark that was conducted does not do a like-with-like compar-
sion. Even a like-with-like benchmark suffers from subjectivity, as in all
benchmark that choose conditions that support the hypothesis (or the
source of funding).
