The speed seems to vary with which machine (read that - which type of
hard disk) I'm using.  When I use it on the machine with the HD 20, it's
a bit slower than on the machine with the HD20 SCSI.  I assume this is
because so much of the program resides on disk during execution.  For
example, whenever I open a picture it brings in an overlay.  Nonetheless,
it is acceptably fast on either machine.  I'm a pretty fast typist, and
can't out-type it.  Disk I/O is acceptable on either machine.

The one thing I haven't tried is using a RAM cache on the 2 Meg machine.
Has anybody played with that?
