tempting or not, I would look for an accelerator with memory.

The 3640's bottleneck.


... unless you already have a BIGRAM card :D

Zorro III RAM is fast, but is it comparable to local memory on the accelerator?

I highly doubt it, but I'll defer to the more knowledgeable folks here.  For my own (key word) personal use, it would have been good enough.  A moot point, however, as I've got my eye on another road bike instead.

There were a few kits available on eBay, too, a few months ago (which is how I heard of it).
