It uses a 16mhz 68k dragon ball processor. Assuming all things are
equal (they aren't of course), 0 tinyBenchmarks returns 874125
bytecodes/sec; 32030 sends/sec on my 40mhz 68LC040. This means that
it should run something close to 35000 bytecodes/sec and 13000
sends/sec. My 40mhz 040 very rarely feels slow when running MVC,
though morphic can be a bit pokey. In general I suspect that the
SIMM computer should feel slow, but, ok.
