Yes, system 7.0 is sllllooooooow!  I'd say it's noticeably slower on a
Mac II.  Those of you SE/Classic owners thinking of upgrading --
consider a 25Mhz board or better yet, an 040 CPU.  The most irritating
thing is that boot time seems to have increased by 5-10 seconds at
least.  This will not be good for people developing software.
