Just watch the printers with the AMD29000 Chip.  AT a 16 Mhz clock speed
with NO branch table caching i.e. the most crippled chip, runs approx
3 times as fast as the latest 68020 based Apple engine.  Just imageing
what the 40 mhz rate with full caching is gonna do.

This all points up the power of a faster processer, and one optimised
for a highlevel compiler language.
