I'm wondering just how good the MAC-XL really is:

My previous experience with the Lisa indicated **ENORMOUS** amounts of 
time for disk I/O, on the order of MINUTES, sometimes, to load or put 
away a program.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed, and if the pixel size problem 
is fixed NOW, as opposed to "manana"?

Additionally, info I have seen indicates that the XL is about .2 slower 
than the Mac due to having the Mac's ROM in RAM.  Any comments?
