- I'd hope it'd run pretty damn well, since we've had up to 10 users on a 286
- doing software development... which is about 30 times slower than the 486,
- with more demanding users.
-
- Now I won't say I was happy with the performance on the 286, but the current
- systems with moderately old 386es are adequate, and our 486 box screams.
