	I think this is an unfair assesment of the performance of 7.0
	The reason being that the only System 7 most people have seen 
	is the recent alpha release, and making judgements of speed and 
	performance at this time is irresponsible IMHO. I would think that
	by the time that its released, a number of things will be done
	to optomize the performance of System 7. Its like saying that
	just because this version crashes that the release will be
	buggy, chances are because of the initial releases this system
	will be much better than previous releases because of its early
	introduction to the developers, instead of the usual surprise.
