I ran a program on the IMS in the 6-Mhz mode and on a 6-Mhz IBM
PC/AT at the same time.   It merely performed calculations in
memory and displayed which loop number it was doing on the screen.
Watching both run simultaneously for 10,000 loops, the IMS machine
definitely ran slower at that speed.  (Does the one wait state at
10 Mhz mean one wait state at 6 Mhz ??)
