  40mhz vs. 270MHz is an important point, but let's also keep in mind
that this is an apples/oranges comparison.  With 1MB of cache, that
40Mhz can actually do some serious work...while the 256K cache on the
U5's CPU is a joke.

  One other thing...I have two SS10s in production now, and they're both
running at 75MHz...not 40.  They serve up web pages very effectively
when running NetBSD, Apache, PHP and MySQL.
