The message passing overhead may be reduced but the other timings are more likely to get worse as more error checking and monitoring is introduced. These timings should in principle be improved by up to a factor of 2 by using the i960RD (a clock doubled version of the i960RP) but until we can benchmark it I wouldn't like to predict quite how the timings scale with clock speed.
