The G4 is newer, has a faster bus, more cache, and sometimes even L3 cache. A G4 of the same, or even slower clock of a G3 would still crush it. In OS X, it's even more apparent, as the Altivec CPU extention, otherwise known as the velocity engine, is heavily optimised in OS X, and Much of it's core technologies, such as Corevideo. Overall, a G4 is much better than a G3.
