I expect too that a lot of the potential the Macs had in CPU cycles was severely degraded by their relatively poor net-working performance (until late). That's pretty much why Syquest media was so popular in Mac environments for such a long time, it was quicker to walk data across a room on a Syquest disk than wait for the network.
