that'll be of interest to you folks; namely the comparative FBII compile
times!
The "large app" I compiled is my current project; main, glbl, 28 include
files, total source size 823K, resource file 1.4 Mb, compiled size 1.7
Mb. The .main was the only file open when "compile all" and "build
project" were chosen. IIci time is +/- a minute; I may have dozed off in
there...

Yes, the G3/233 is _twice_ as fast as a PowerBase 200 at FB compiles!
Over 2.5x as fast as a 7600/120, and almost 17x as fast as a IIci!
ClubMac has them for under $1900...
Need I say that I'm _very_ impressed with this new Mac? 🙂
