It's the software, not the hardware. All that eye candy, background management, and hardware abstraction chew up a lot of resources.

In my line of work we have systems run by 25-year old computers next to systems running on bleeding edge multi-core multi-processor hardware. In my experience the older the computer, the faster it will boot. Unless it runs linux.

There should be a corollary to Moore's law showing that any advances in hardware will be completely overrun by software 'advances' for a net performance gain of 0. :P
