What you said about RAW image loading, h264 decoding etc is very true, however PCs circumvent some of those issues with GPU hardware assists. But as you say a G3 class CPU won't cut it.
Thankfully the X1000s CPU (name eludes me and I can't be @rsed to look) is better than a G3 and should be able to deal with those issues with the right software and hardware support.
As an aside - did you tune your cutting edge Linux distro, or is it setup with a standard install?

OS4.1 can do many things that your average consumer would want with much less resources than Windows and Linux, ...
That's good new, less resource is always good because wasting resources means wasting money. Please present me the link where you got your AOS4 system, it must have been much cheaper than my Linux netbook.
(that was meant to be ironic, but maybe he could really present a link, that would make me a potential AOS4 user)
