They're loading the toy applications that came with Windows 3.51 an operating system developed when 486's were common and first generation Pentiums were the bleeding edge, so around 100 MHz. (Also, using clock speed alone discounts any generational bumps in efficiency.) Of course it will be fast.

Windows 95 running on a 133mhz computer would open Excel (I believe from Office 98) essentially instantly once the machine was up and running. Which unless you had AV running took under a minute.
