Here is the appropriate paragraph direct from Apple's press release:

"The combination of the 68030 microprocessor and 68882 math co-processor
running at 16Mhz provides users with an additional 10-15 percent performance
improvement over the Macintosh II.  In addition, virtually all Macintosh
II-compatible software runs without modification on the Macintosh IIx."

Not a great deal of improvement, is it?  About the same as the SE was supposed
to have over the Plus.
