I imagine it wasn't set up very well (and it was running on a nice large
monitor), or it was starved for RAM (and using virtual memory to make up
for it).

It did feel faster than my ST (and it was _nice_ having the 16" monitor
on there), but not (unfortunately) faster than the '486/33 I use at work.
This is not to say I'd rather have the PC I use at work than the
Quadra... it's just got enough RAM to use Windoze (ie, 8M of RAM) and a
fast disk.
