Does anyone know how fast this puppy runs? 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.
