Yes.  The IIGS Finder is somewhat slow, though one gets used to it.

There is a new, faster CPU chip and at least one "third party" seems
to be offering a IIGS speedup kit, called something like GS/X.

It wouldn't surprise me if Apple was also heading in this direction.
I hear that they have a large R&D budget for the II family this year.
With over a quarter million IIGSs sold do far, maybe they finally
got the message about who "the rest of us" really are.
