I just did another test...  I assumed that the wisdom that MultiFinder
loads first into Bank B is incorrect.  So, I loaded up programs until
I had less than 4Mb left, then loaded LISP.  This time, I got the 33%
speed increase (27 clock ticks down to 19 clock ticks) in 8-bit mode that
I wanted to see.

So maybe MultiFinder isn't as bright as was previously assumed?
