I did some sleuthing to try to figure out what part of computing history this could refer to. - Maybe because one could lower the "wait states" BIOS setting on PCs, and this became a selling point and was marketed? https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/9779 https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/9779 https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/18333 https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/18333 Note: it is often perceived that the CPU with more "wait states" was slower. But the above links point out how often the opposite is true. - The Apple II era was a very different world. The CPU was relatively slower than the RAM. https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/23541 https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/23541
