I was referring strictly to hardware specs, not perceived speed (which was
significantly worse on the iMac). But yes, I agree that even with identical
hardware specs (as far as that can be done with two different types of CPUs)
Windows XP is snappier in general compared to OS X.

Can you give me a URL or is it in a printed magazine? I'd love to see the
comparison.
