I'll say.  I've got an 11/730 stashed in my garage (that I keep meaning to
haul out and play with), which I used to run with 4.2BSD.  With just one
user on it, you could overrun its TTY input buffer to the point of pathetic
beeping, just by typing random input quickly *by hand*.  Now that's slow!!!
