With 8Mb the speed was OK for me and most PC XT at the time were not perceived as slow for office or industrial usage.
People used office software like Multiplan or Wordstar without complaining about speed even on Z80 machines. They complained much more about capabilities to connect their brand new printer, or the slowness and limitations of their floppy disks, etc.
