I've edited a 250 k file on a 1 meg Mac II with no problem.
A friend tested a smaller file (70 k I think) on a MacPlus and found
most functions, scrolling, searching, etc, to be about 3 times faster
than MS Word with the same file. Files are held entirely in memory,
however, so there will be limits. It's definitely not the hog that 
FullWrite is, on the other hand.
