I'd say that is very hardware dependant. At my workplace, we have a lot of base-model iMacs with 5400rpm hard drives. Applications do not "snap" on these Macs; there is a lot of lag and "beachballing"!
Similarly, Linux typically runs fast on powerful, compatible hardware, and Linux runs slow on weak or incompatible hardware.
You imply (without really giving any details) that Linux "lags" or "doesn't snap" on your computer. What are your hardware specs? Are you running Debian Stable, Testing, or Unstable? Have you installed the correct video drivers (if necessary)?
