Summary: decoding delays seen as major impediment


   Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but as I have been lead to 
understand the situation, it will prove somewhat difficult to successfully
implement large physical memory systems on the order of 1Gb.  The primary
impediment seems to be the delays caused by propagation delays in the
decoding trees.   Anyone care to enlight me (us)?
