att!tellab5!toth@ucbvax.berkeley.edu (Joseph G. Toth Jr.)?'s impassioned
defense of a P-system does make me wonder..

What are the performance characteristics of a P-System? Isn't the kernal
rather large? What sort of ballpark execution speed are we talking? Maybe 50%
of assembled code?

Also, I know there are a couple of P-Systems already out there - Beagle Basic,
various Pascals. Any sort of P-system source code one could use (legally) as a
starting point?

toth's point is well taken - a slow system is better than no system.
