Well here's the deal with the MACs are faster:

The speed judging people use benchmarks to determine how fast a computer is. 
Yeah, the MACs are faster with this method (crunching numbers & such) but it's
also known that if you benchmark a MAC & PC, the PCs gonna win.  It all
depends on what software you are using on which is better really.  It just so
happens that MACs aren't as "user-friendly" as PCs, & isn't that what we as a
society are all about these days - gotta be convenient.

It's a classic debate we really shouldn't get into on a Vanagon list, that's
just my two cents though.
