I don't think that it doesn't work. I've seen applications moved from
4/400 machines to 10's a lot and have never seen anything like what
you are mentioning -- they've invariably sped up. This is what I would
expect. As I said, the 10s have a faster bus, faster processors, more
contexts, better controllers, and typically have faster
disks. However, I think this topic has wandered way away from what
current is for, so I'm cutting myself off here.
