Ah, yes ... people with too much time on their hands, and, frustratingly, smarter and more persistent than I ever was.
I think the 1541 transfer speed only ever felt truly fast to people who'd experienced years of using the 1530 (the cassette tape storage device).

Outside of demos, the most interesting suggestion was to offload data(base) querying logic to the drive.
