Why is a processor’s speed not the only important factor in a computer’s performance?

Hello, everyone! I’ve been doing some research into computer hardware lately, and one thing that I keep coming across is this idea that the speed of a processor, while important, isn’t the only thing that affects a computer’s overall performance. I’m having a bit of a hard time wrapping my head around this because I always thought that a faster processor meant a faster computer. Can anyone explain why this isn’t necessarily the case? I’m really interested to learn more about this!

It’s like Stephen hawking. His brain was fast but his body couldn’t get things recorded as quick.
