Summary: Even though Sys 7 will automatically adjust the system heap, I would get
	 the public domain software-Bootman or HeapFixer-to increase the system
	 heap beyond the 20-25% level.  Remember to optimize your hard disk.  Set

t the disk cache to about 384K, that is if you guys have the ram.
In addition, use the software Silverling to format the drive.
BTW, which hard drive you have?--Miniscribe, Rodime, or Quantum.
If it is the 20 meg Miniscribe or Rodime, good luck!!!

I have a Mac Plus running on Sys 7.0 with Quantum 40 meg and the
System heap set at 1024K--that's right.  When I double-click on the
folders, it "shoots out" at me.  Everything is quicker.  Don't worry
if it slows down in the Finder.  Sys 7.0 has these thing that finder
operations are slower than in Sys 6.0X.

Good Luck in your quest for faster speed!!! Especially you have a
SE, Classic, or Plus.
