From what I've read on the subject, chips faster than 100ns are very expensive
to produce because manufacturers can't get reliable, consistant results from a
large enough percentage of batches.  This isn't likely to change in the future.
So, Apple is writing some special code, of which I don't know the technical
details, so that the computers can run at faster speeds (33-50 MHz) without
excessive wait states for memory (more than 2).  Unfortunately, as I said, I
don't remember how they did it, but I would guess that 100 or 120ns chips should
do it for the next couple of years at least.

I just remember reading this stuff, so don't yell at me too much.
