Scott,
 I assume you are running on a CoCo, not a Mot 68040! The CoCo 3's < 2 mhz 6809
performs in my observations about the same as a 4.77 mhz 8088 - what was in the
original IBM PC. It does some things faster, some slower. Assuming you have a
10 mhz 80286, you're wondering why your $5000 Hyundai cannot keep up with a
$30,000 Corvette!
 Try os9 on a 25 mhz 68030 w/ 68881 coprocessor, and all kinds of things run
faster!
 Mark
