hi
I'm from a Commodore - 128 kind of scene
I ran a program on both the apple //e
and a C-128

10 fort=1 to 500
20 a=3.14159
30 b=sqr(val(str$(a*a)))
40 nextt
50 end

and the C-128 in the 80-col mode is almost 2x as fast
by the way, the values of 'b' were almost identacle
acually, the C-128 is almost (within 20%) as fast as
an IBM PC.
