  27.     I had tried installing Executor on a 25 MHz 386 with a slow hard
  28. drive.  It was so amazingly slow that it was completely useless.  It would
  29. take literally hours to do simple tasks.  With q10, there is such an amazing 
  30. speed-up that I would no longer classify it as "useless".  There seems to 
  31. be at LEAST a 5-fold increase in speed, probably more.
