RSTS on an 11/73 driving an TU50 would stream quite

I/O better than VMS? (I suppose that's possible...) Interrupt
latency shouldn't be much of an issue; the thing is that you have to
queue up multiple buffers.
Isn't the PDP-11/73 about twice as fast as a MicroVAX I? Remember
the MicroVAX I is only 0.3 VUPS.
