OS X is a completely different OS than OS 9. A part of that difference involves higher system overhead. In addition, it’s no longer possible for a single application to entirely take over system resources. As a result, don’t expect OS X performance to be identical to OS 9 — some things are faster, some things are slower. We’re working on improving OS X performance and we hope that future updates will be even faster.
