[DECtalk] non-dectalk question

[Brent Harding]

How can a system run too fast? I thought the faster we can get a processor 
the better everything is. I can't believe that when I was young I thought 
getting a Pentium versus a 486 would actually make speech have to be faster 
in rate, which does not really happen.
