No.  I'm pretty sure the speed remained constant.  Well, that not true.  It did
get faster when more ram was added.  It was rather frustrating because the P75s
we had at the time were far faster.  The salesvermin said that we could add L2,
and pointed at the slot to add it, but I later figured out that while that 
SIMM socket looked different from the others (set appart from the others, and
at an angle instead of straight), it was still only a regular SIMM socket for
adding ram.
