This is totally predictable and common. The number of really fast,
hot shot OS's that burn up the benchmarks before you make them powerful
enough to run real applications is stupendous. What makes Linux so 
amazing is that it has remained speedy -- but this is only because
it has great programmers working on it and a culture of "don't dare
put that crap in my OS".
