You could speed it up a little by installing the images,
do a lot of AUTOGEN with FEEDBACK and grant yourself
enough UAF memory resources...

No, one of the fastest EV6 (EV6 500MHz or EV67 667MHz).

IIRC, only a ES40 (EV68 833MHz), a DS15 or DS25 (EV68 1GHz)
and all EV7 (1.15GHz and 1.3GHz) are faster.
The XP1000 is a wonderful hobbyist system...

Remember, an XP1000 is a COMPAQ machines,
while DEC was already or almost at EV6 before the suicide.

And enough RAM (where my/many XP1000 have 2GB)
