That can't be accurate because Darwin has been around since Mac OS X v10.0 (Cheetah), which came out eight years ago. My parents have an iMac that came with Mac OS X v10.1 (Puma). Its CPU is an 800 MHz PPC G4, which needless to say has a single core.

Not true. Depending on your X environment (e.g. any WM lighter than Aqua) and file system types (e.g. JFS), Linux can certainly be less resource intensive and can outperform Mac OS X. Edit: That's one of the main reasons I switched to Linux.
