Probably. splsoft* does block the clock. Unfortunately we can't change
the hardware Apple gave us. :-(

Is there some way we can squeze the splsoft*'s between spl1 and spl0?
Maybe multiply all the hardware interrupt levels by 2 and add level 1
between 2 (hardware int 1) and 0 (hardwware int level 0). I heard an
off-hand comment somewhere that vaxen used to do something like this,
but I'm not sure... ??

Take care,
