Everything is relative Rick, and so is this.  I have a 386DX-25 at home
(no 387), and a 386i-20 at work (with a 387).  Want-to guess which system
is more responsive?????  The Sun 386i!  Hands down.  It must have something
to do with the vastly superior IO bus in the Sun (vs the ISA bus machine).
Under X, I'll bet it has to do with the 387 being available.
