I remember reading a few months ago about a bug in the memory manager
of the "32-bit clean" ROMs which caused memory allocation on these
machines to be significantly slower than their predecessors  I have witnessed
the problem with the program on which I am working--loading time on a
Mac IIcx is about 30 seconds, and on a Mac IIci is about 2 minutes.  Thus,
I have given away my IIci and am now using a IIcx.

However, I also remember seeing information about an INIT that fixes the
problem, but the INIT was not available to the general public.  Is it available
now?  If not, is there a way I could become a beta-tester?  The speed increase
would certainly help myself and, more importantly, my colleagues (who are
stuck with pokey Mac IIci's).

Thanks in advance for any information.
