The benchmarks I've seen show that our Mac IIci (25MHz and cache) are 50%
faster than the 25MHz Compaq 386 box running similar programs. 

The Mac IIx was 15% faster than the Mac II. The Mac IIci is about 50%
faster than the IIx, and if you add a cache card to that you can get up to
50-70% *more* above that.

That help?
