Not only is the new SE/30 supposed to be faster than the Mac II, but also the Mac IIx. The reason for this is the lack of the NuBus in the SE/30. Sticking in the bus adds a few CPU cycles of overhead here and there. Hence, without the bus, the SE/30 is marginally faster. (The slot on the latter is upposed to have "direct" access to the 68030 CPU.) By the way, this is obviously a fairly non-technical description of the situation as I understand it, though I believe this info is basically correct.
