The only way a Kanga could possibly be faster than a Wallstreet with a G3/500 installed would be if the Wallstreet's L2 cache was somehow being disabled. A G3 with a disabled cache is no faster than a 603e processor.
The Ws is a 500 MHz bluechip 1MB L2 with 384 MB RAM, the Kanga is a 190 MB RAM.
These are some tests:
Application WS 1st/2nd launch Kanga 1st/2nd launch Word 2001 7/3 8/3 Excel 2001 5/2 5/3 PowerPoint 2001 5/3 6/4
A basic user cannot tell the difference. Pretty interesting.
