Summary: Emacs vs. Vi efficiency

In all this hot-running debate, please allow me to ask a question.
Does anyone have any figures on the resources required by vi and
emacs?  On our system (Vax11/750, 4.2BSD) emacs runs very slowly
and consumes lots of cpu.  What are other people's impressions
(although I'd prefer measurements!)?
