The PC Transporter runs off a 8 MHz V-30 and is definately MUCH faster
than a 4.77 MHz 8088 or 8086, or even an 8 MHz 80XX for that matter. 
However, it is still FAR FAR slower than a 7 MHz IIgs running in similar
environments (GUI or Text).  And yes, I've worked with plenty of MS-DOS
machines, from the IBM PC to 33 MHz '386 machines.  Anything less than
an AT running at 12 MHz feels dog slow compared to my IIgs.  I do like
that '386/33 though.
