Oh, please. That test is very questionable (is it testing OS X or the G5 chip or something else entirely?), and the Mac is still fast enough for most Web sites even if you take that page as scripture. Even if OS X and the G5 are both completely horrible compared to Linux and x86, you will most likely not run into a situation where it matters.
