Yup. Personally, I'm actually very happy with my g3/500mhz laptop and
probably won't be upgrading to a Ti until the next hardware version...
the JVM on OSX also kicks some serious ass...the JVM has some features in it
that are unique...
"Apple has extended and enhanced the Java experience in many areas.
Java threads are now native Mach threads. This means that they can take
advantage of symmetric multiprocessing without extra work from you. The Java
threads are also are fully preemptive.
On Mac OS X, the overhead of multiple instances of the VM has been reduced
through the sharing of Java class data and of HotSpot-compiled code across
invocations. This feature is unique in the Mac OS X Java implementation.
Mac OS X provides double buffering for all Java applications."
javac on OSX compiles about as fast as jikes.

Yes, very true...i bet that the CVS version of python compiles just dandy...
actually, i just realized there is a version of Python in apple's public cvs
tree...i'm going to try building that...i don't think it is 2.1 though...
