>From what I have seen with the Apple //e revision C logic board Apple
could have adopted a faster CPU speed but chose to keep the 1 mhz. This
was true except for the Apple //c+ that had a 3 Mhz speed and the Apple
/// which has a 2 Mhz 6502B processor The Apple //Gs was crippled
because Apple was trying to sell the Macintosh LC computers to the
schools. I suppose their marketing made sense to Apple. But the Apple //
series of computers made Apple billions. This bad marketing plan also
put the 68040 without the co processor chips which meant Sonnet and
other companies made millions suppling to the consumers who knew that
the co processor meant faster processing speeds and were willing to pay
for that speed. 
  Years ago at a school library in Superior Wi. I ran a book title
lookup speed test with a Apple //+ with 64k running the same library
program as another IBM with 4.77 mhz processor and 128k of ram. Every
book we looked up came up more then a minute faster on the Apple //+.
That was a good indication of the problems IBM had with their Dos 3.3.
This was funny as the Apple was also using Apple Dos 3.3. That Library
program was ported over to Prodos and it ran circles around the IBM
version. That Library program design group decided to drop support
completely for the Apple based program and go with IBM Dos 5. From what
I saw of the Dos 5 version the Prodos version was still faster looking
up books. But that's progress. That software company kept blaming our
Apple computers and harddrives as being defective so one day I dumped
their program and started looking into the program. I found a lot of sub
routines and calls that pointed to non existant locations. I called the
company and asked to talk to their technical support. I told their
Technical support what I had found and I was told that I  had no right
to examine their programming techniques . Shortly after this talk the
company decided to drop support for the Apple side. This was the Apple
Dos 3.3 version. I looked at the Prodos version and it was programmed
better but we still had book lookup problems and deleting entries didn't
always delete that title for the index. I spent weeks looking into why
this was happening and never did figure why it was doing what it did. We
had a Edgar Allen Poe book that was deleted and kept reappearing in the
index. I did find that title and was able to delete the entry but other
books also kept showing up after they had been removed. It was a lot of
fun looking into their programming routines and I learned a lot back
then.
