- Well, since the 700 was faster than the 900 (indeed to the extent
- that the 950 is not as much faster than the 700 as you would expect --
- according to Motorola's benchmarks) it isn't surprising. Apparently
- all the slots carry an overhead.

- Of course, this latter is just pseudo technical second hand claptrap.
