[comp.sys.atari.st] Memory access speeds?

Howdy again,
   time for a somewhat naive question on my part. I've had my eye on one of
those 16MHz speedups for my ST for awhile, but I'm really not sure how well
it'll perform. Considering the clock speed, that'd mean data has to be ready
125ns after a request. Using 100ns DRAMs, that means you have a mere 25ns for
address decoding & such. Anyone know how fast the ST's decoding logic runs?
Am I doomed to the abominable wait-state, or will 80ns RAMs suffice, or ...?
