We're running a NeXT cube (68040/25Mhz) with 2.5 GB of disk serving 50
NFS clients or so.  We're considering upgrading the server with a
Turbo board (68040/33Mhz).

My question is, with such a configuration, is upgrading to a Turbo
likely to help?  It's quite possible that the machine is disk-bound,
in which case increasing the CPU speed won't significantly help.

Any comments?
