*If* it could be done, probably everything would be faster. But I
have no idea whether Voyager would play nice (although does eMate use
Voyager?) Memory access especially could be dicey - I've read that
memory access on the Newton take 7 cycles (don't know where I read that
though - it may be wrong..). Although with a processor about 60%
faster, some things would get *pretty* fast - like highlighting text,
scrolling, etc.
