 Well, isn't it kinda like the difference between direct mapping, 2 way,
 4 way, and whatever more different type of cache (the SRAM data cache on
 your mommyboard :) ) mapping. When you gets SO damn efficient in space
 saving, you are also wasting a lot of time arranging those data...
 Lemme see, can I plug my old 486DX-33 CPU into my Courier? It is remarkably
 faster than the 80188 that they are using... :) even my old, ancient 80286
 10Mhz would be a bit faster... :) maybe they should have lefted a socket for
 us to plug in the "compression co-processor" :)
