My impression (based on brief informal comparisons) is
consistent with Kurt's.

VPC 2.1 with 64MB allocated to it on his brand-new top-spec
PowerBook (is that 310MHz + 192MB?) seemed more or less on a
par with my 2-year-old Toshiba Satellite Pro 410CDT (90MHz
Pentium, 24MB): faster in some ways, slower in others.
