I think most Access Databases are not optimizes, so they may contain multiple copies of the same data in a database, and the database is used for storing physical files rather than linking to files on a server which is faster.
Access Databases can be pretty hard to optimize where large access databases runs at a decent speed on a lowend computer, or server.

Re: Lowest low end you can have?
I just know when you really get into low end pcs running stuff like access is hard on it. I know our schools had i3s and they often struggled or crashed.

That's possible, school's don't get pcs that can multitask very well, specially when all their OS runs off a campus wide sever setup.
