I had a job in the early 80s for a company that wrote EDA software, and we used a 750 as the development platform. Linking a new EXE (_linking_!!) took about 15 minutes, and and there were many paperback books scattered around. Management was not happy, but we had a good excuse until they eventually bought us a used 785. Compiling all the source code on the 750 took more than a day and was normally done once a week, over the weekend. > The day we got our first VAXstation 2000, everybody was fighting > over it, because it blew the 730 away. I think the 730/725 was the second slowest VAX ever made. It beat the performance of a MicroVAX-I (I, not II) by just a hair.
