It was fast on say, 300mhz and faster hardware, but while watching a video where Windows 95 was running on a 486, I remembered how you used to be able to see individual UI elements being drawn on the screen piece by piece.

This is pretty much the modern experience with web SPAs, except the hardware can hardly be blamed anymore.
Waiting for things to happen on a 486 sure, but not seeing things draw piece by piece. CPU wasnt the problem in that case, but VGA with no acceleration.
