[comp.sys.mac.programmer] MPW on a Mac SE

dsk@cbnewsj.att.com (donald.s.klett) (12/20/90)

Interested in how well MPW performs on a Mac SE.  I have an SE with 4MB
memory and a 70MB hard disk.  Compile speed is not that important.  Mainly
interested in how responsive MPW is handling commands, editing files, etc.
Would be interested in C compiler speed if available.  Thanks.

The primary slow down in MPW is the disk I/O. If you have a fast HD, your
SE will run far faster than a II/fx with floppies (assuming MPW could be
run from floppies).
