They don't have to waste processor cycles and memory on anti virus programs?

Ignoring the fact that it's a bad idea to assume you're safe on a Mac, even if you spot the Mac 20% cpu & memory (very high assumption for antivirus resource use), you still get more for your money with a PC.

And if resource use was your main criteria, might as well just go Linux.
