The Arc does nearly everything in software too - what are you trying
to say?  That the ARM is faster than the CPU in most Macintoshes?
Remember too that a lot of the ARM stuff is running from ROM which
is clocked at ~half the rate of its RAM.. ;)  I don't know how much
Mac stuff is on ROM.

Conrad, who probably doesn't know what he's talking about, but I
missed Tor's point anyway..
