This morning I did some testing of system 7.0 and system 6.0.7.  Here
are the results:

Mac II CMS PRO-80 (quantum Q280 disk drive), no PMMU, AppleColor RGB
monitor & card, no INITs, no CDEVs, no Apple Menu Items, black/white
mode, no startup screen.

System 		Boot time.
--------------------------
7.0		20 seconds
6.0.7		5.5 seconds

Given that you can run a "TrueType" init in system 6.0.7, I am
considering going back to the earlier system.  If I ever want to test
buggy software the 20-second turnaround time will be long indeed.
