But how long would it have taken the DW? I believe the deskwriters speed is
also dependent on the speed of the CPU. (Or am I mistaken - anyway I have an
LC so the extra speed of the DW is worth it).

It sure is small! I didn't realise quite how small until I had a look at one
this morning. Although I do think that with the paper tray and sheet feeder
the SW is similar in size to the DW (although nowhere hear as bulky)
