When the Mac was introduced, Apple built a factory capable of producing a
machine every 17 seconds (this is from memory, it was some time under a
minute). It may have taken a while for it to be run at full capacity but
probably never was as low as hundreds/month. Slow is a fair description
of NeXT production.
