We have various high speed machines in addition to Nexts.  Fast CPU's  
are nice, but the CPU's are outstripping the I/O.  

Our IBM 530 is penalized 3 wait states for cache memory, and 13 wait  
states for main memory.

During the next few years we are going to see product differentiation  
not so much on CPU as in clever ways of feeding their voracious  
appetites.
