An analogy would be 2 people, each having to move a pile of large boulders from Point A to Point B. One guy is skinny and weak, but can run very fast. However, he can only carry one boulder at a time. The other guy is built like Andre the Giant, and he can carry a bucket full of boulders in each hand. Even moving slower, "Andre" will accomplish the task much faster.
