Definitely, for some things. While it's fine most of the time, when I get over 600 icons on the desktop there are occasional moments when the finder takes a while to redraw them all. That's a lot less of an issue with OS X compared to the classic OS, as it doesn't affect any other running apps. On the Classic OS you could be sitting waiting for the redraw to complete before being able to load or switch to another app.
