That hardware is a few generations ahead of even high-end server hardware when Windows NT 3.51 dropped. Of course, any OS is going to be snappy when running on much faster hardware with much more RAM than it was designed for.

Put Windows 2000 on that thing and see if it runs just as well.

They did exactly that if you scroll a bit down. It's just as fast as Windows NT 3.51.
