Answering your post bit by bit is far easier.

Words like "better" require a comparison be made.

In this case, we're comparing Intel systems with NON-Intel systems.
Or, if you will, OS 10.5.x with 10.6.x.

Are you telling me that 5.x with PPC code inside exhibits no slowdown from 6.x 
with that same PPC code removed? That they will be equally fast?

Or, are we comparing Tiger with both/either Leopard?
