I'm sure Dave Haynie could answer the Zorro question quite abit better than
me...but...
 
I'm not sure about the Zorro][ transfer speed, but Zorro]I[ does
20MB/sec...which is the same as MicroChannel and NuBus.  But, Zorro]I[ doesn't
have MicroChannel's problem of no 32bit DMA (at least on the models up to the
mod80), where it slows to 10MB/sec...and it doesn't have the NuBus to
mainmemory bottleneck which slows things to 5MB/sec.
 
If you're dealing with large images, these factors can be very important.
