It is so very very slow... it is almost unbearable. A lot of users are
complaining about the slowness already. On our 20 MB and 32 MB machines, the
speed reduction is almost minimal although you can still see. NetInfo
operations, however, is a lot faster than 2.1.
I think that NeXT should not even produce 8MB configuration anymore. Spare some
money to buy more RAM (at least 16 MB).
