I don't think the 601s were even that "crap" at it, certainly not the faster ones in the 7100/8100
What trag said, plus the more significant speed differences were attributable to the larger caches in the newer PowerPC chips. One interesting tidbit is that there were some low end machines with the 603 (without the e at the end) which were complete dogs running m68k code because the m68k emulator code couldn't all fit in the 603's caches. The 603e was quickly released to address that issue.
