Contrary to popular believes, I've noticed the NeXTstation Colour to be
faster than the NeXTstation in computation and about the same as NeXTstation
in terms of screen response. The NeXTstation Colour has interleaved 
memory which allows it to run at close to 0 wait state whereas other NeXT
systems run with 1 or more wait states. This can account for 10-20%
improvement in performance. I wonder why NeXT doesn't use the interleave
memory scheme in the NeXTstation and the Cube!
