	That might be an exaggeration.  In general it's pretty snappy, but
then again a 20 Mhz 80386 might have something to do with that.  X11 running
with the 16-color VGA mode is awfully slow, especially when scrolling.  When
you start paging and swapping, system performance really goes down the tubes.

	I had numerous 80286 binaries from Microport, and they all ran without
a hitch.  From this I'd guess that their compatibility claims are true.
