Is Mac OS X Slow?

I got a similar computer : G4 400Mhz 320 MB PCI a.k.a."Yikes!".
Jaguar is installed.Apache is On, Sharing is Off, Office v.X notifications are On, Suitcase 10 always On with a few fonts activated (10) and the computer is really slow. When playing a game like Diablo 2 Carbon with my Rage 128 OEM installed, it's a slideshow, it's not playable in Jaguar compared to 9.2.2. In fact I only play it by booting 9.2.2.
I think each mac built before the OS X project is really slow. Explorer 5.1.2 on 9.2.2 is much faster than 5.2.2 on Jaguar. Office 2001 in 9.2.2 is much faster than Office v.X in Jaguar. These are not built for that system. I cannot even use Quartz Extreme so i have another problem with speed compared to newer macs. I have removed WindowsShade X because it was slowing my G4 too much (transparent windows)
