	I don't see what al the fuss is about?  What exactly do you
	want to do that needs to be faster?  I have written several
	large applications on Apple computers using Apple pascal and
	the only real bottleneck I have encountered is Disk I/O.
	The solutions to that are hard disk or ram disk.  Both are
	available.  Given the limited memory space of the apple II
	series, I happily trade off the slower execution speed for the
	reduced size of P-Code vs compiled code.  Better than swapping
	segments in and out all the time.
	Apple Pascal provides lots of low level built in functions
	and procedures if you need to speed up I/O.  Other things that
	just have to be faster, can always be done with the assembler.
