well, I would not want to see the vax any slower than it already is 
(although my VS4000/90 really seems to hum).  But, I would like to be 
able to work inside my memory constraints.

VAX memory is fairly difficult to come by, and userland applications are 
fairly large.

My main concern were the memory issues.
