I'm not sure what you're getting at.  A VAX is a 32-bit computer.
It can do a 32-bit memory-to-memory addition with a single instruction.
I dunno how long this takes, but it is much faster than the 13 6502
instruction (average- 3 cycles each) to do the same job.
Perhaps you could clarify your comment.
