How did you measure this, and what were your measurements?  Though we
did not measure the differences, there was a substantial difference.  We
probably could use a stopwatch, with the minute hand rather than the
second hand, to measure the startup difference with such programs as
InfoExplorer, FrameMaker, etc.  Even our IBM SE's were amazed at the
difference in speed.  If there wasn't any boost in speed it sure was
a good optical illusion. 

While on the subject of Xstations ...  Last May one of the programmers
from our group visited the Austin facility and was convinced that
their Xstations were running much faster than ours.  Do any of you
Austin "guys" (or "gals") know how those terminals were configured?
How were the resources set?  How was the Xstation Manager configured?
What about video and processor memory?
