Is that gut feel, or benchmarked?  I've noticed that responsiveness of
wscons is not that good currently, I suspect it's a lack of optimisation
somewhere.

I've got to find time to fix the kernel to make proper use of the kinetic.
 Currently the kernel loads into the old slow 16MHz ram, I've happily got
it loading into the SDRAM, however this causes issues, eg assumptions that
the vidc/iomd can see this memory.  Basically it made my system rather
unstable, so I reverted that.  However your programs should be using the
SDRAM.

At some point I want to examine the interrupt handling on acorn32, see if
that's what's causing the sluggishness.

One thing to remember is that quite a bit of the IO has to go across the
16MHz bus.

If you look inside the !BTNetBSD you should find a fastboot file (or
something of that ilk)
