It didn't do much for interactive performance (ie, telnet) and slip connections. Side by side, there is obvious difference typing 10 characters to a Solaris host vs a SunOS 4.1 host. Just typing a pattern like lslslslslslsl as fast as you can and with Solaris the terminal blocks after the first two characters. In SunOS you hardly feel any delay between the time you type the characters and the echo appears on the screen.
