Since @Jonathan_Blow was talking about how bad modern software is, I thought it might be a good time to re-post this video of how fast CygnusEd (a text editor) was on the Amiga _thirty years ago_:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L41oIvre9K0 …

yeah it's easy to have fun out of it, but I'd love to see actual numbers, comparing CPU IPS, screen resolution (and color depth, compositing..) A modern system does much more things than an AmigaOS (many superfluous, many relevant). Don't get me wrong, I'm on the Amiga side :D

Indeed. Bitmapped fonts, 640x512 ( at most) resolution, 4 colours. Even upping the colour depth increases memory bandwidth considerably.
