I have a mono 040 cube with 8MB:  I'm thinking about getting more RAM to speed
the system up (it seems to swap a fair bit).  

Can folks report their performance experiences with RAM upgrades in the 
NeXT - ie, is the performance difference between 8MB and 16MB RAM very 
noticeable/profound?  16MB->32MB?  

What's the recommendation on how much RAM you "should" have in a basic 
single-user cube for high-performance?  (Most of what I'm doing is pretty 
vanilla, though I like to keep a lot of stuff active.)
