Sure. You can get the specifics in my August 1989 article on this subject in
inCider magazine. Roughly, and depending very much on which fractal program
you're using and how it's set up, the time is reduced from about 12 hours on a
plain IIGS to about 40 minutes with both accelerators installed.

Speaking of accelerators, I have the parts coming in to do the 12 MHz upgrade
on my TWGS. I would appreciate your E-mailing me if you have done this upgrade
on your GS. I'm writing an article about it, so you'll get to see your
pontifications in print ... assuming my editors don't laugh me out of the
room. :)
