GNU Emacs is _not_ slow on a 386. On a non-cached 16MHz 386
machine with 8MB of memory running Interactive Systems' 386/ix,
GNU Emacs started quickly enough and had crisp response -
snappier than I see on a Sun 3/50. If you have enough memory to
to keep paging quiet, expect excellent performance. It might
even be reasonably happy in 4MB on a 386, as you're typically not
carrying the overhead of a window system.
