I'm inclined to agree. From the user's perspective, constantly sluggish
performance is a worse problem than an occasional crash. I can work around
a program that predictably crashes under certain circumstances (and do). I
can't work around a program which feels slower on a 400MHz iMac than Word 6
felt on a Power Mac 7200/75 -- and Word 6 was notoriously slow on the Mac.
