I was thinking 286's were faster than was being mentioned, but I suppose his design was speeding up a design from the beginning of the era instead of copying a later design.

286s were quite fast for DOS applications in their later days; they were actually faster than the newer 386SX systems that were competing against them, but of course they couldn't do 32-bit operations.
