Not true; I have a couple of mathematical programs (simple prime number
generator and a PI digit calculation program) that have nothing to do with
the screen, and both run *considerably* faster (nearly twice as fast, I'd say)
on the 28S.  Also, when I run the FAST program on the 28S, simple commands like
"edit" come up a lot faster; I wouldn't the operations that "edit" does when
when it's coming up very screen-bound.
