What's the actual performance boost if I get 1meg instead of 256k?  I
have rarely seen any MSDOG machines with more than 256k cache, the Mac
O/S is recommended to have 128k or 256k, and GS/OS is supposed to have
something like 64k (I think, don't flame me please).

AppleWorks Classic flies as it is, it takes about 13 seconds from double-
click from finder to loading timeout stuff and seeing main menu.  Will
1meg of cache give me a loading time of 4 seconds?
