[OS X TeX] What kind of operation is TeXing? (concerning hardware)

Obviously I'm out of my league here as a recent convert, but, TeX seems 
fast to me.

TeXShop can typeset my 32 page document (my first LaTeX document) in a 
few seconds on my 1.25GHz with the pdflatex expansion/contraction 
thing. Fast enough to Command-T (typeset) after every few 
modifications.

Seems fast to me...

Cheers,

Doug
