Another small contribution on Tandy 2000 performance. I have a 68000
cross-assembler I wrote in Basic and compiled to run on a number of
machines. As you might guess it is very heavy on string handling functions
and does almost no floating point calculations. On a 1000 line source code
file the assembly times are:

       Apple II 10 minutes
       TRS80    8  [D[D[D[D[D[D[C[C[C[C  minutes
       IBM PC   4  minutes
       Tandy 2000 2  mins 20 sec
       VAX (VMS) 40 secs

So about 4 tandys = 1 Vax !
