Welcome Jason. I'll take a crack at your question.
Real-time software effects and instruments are probably the biggest reason there is a need for ultra fast and well designed machines. They are a big draw on system resources. A multi-track session with lots of tracks and plug-ins can easily overload an average machine. Often folks in our field will have to run that along with a movie file which can further add to the load.
I am just scratching the surface with this. There are many other reasons that we need power. In this thread we were discussing how the new Vista OS might be a further draw on our precious system resources.
