On my SE/30, things are not bad either.  Color slows things down
slightly, but that is not a problem.  B&W is always there if I need the
little extra speed.

With regard to boot time, I do notice that there is a slightly longer
delay after the "Debugger Installed" message appears in the startup
DSAT.  Has anyone else noticed this?

Configuration:
  Mac SE/30, 8MB RAM, internal (7.0 boot disk) 105MB Quantum Pro (SCSI 6),
  external 105MB Conner (SCSI 4), 3M DC-2000 Tape drive (SCSI 1), RasterOps
  264/30, Seiko CM1445C monitor.
