Xy4 and Signature have some big differences. The biggest: the speller and
thesaurus in Signature were the abominations inserted by IBM. After using
Sig for a few weeks I deinstalled and went back to Xy 3+. Xy4 restored the
good Microlytics speller, and all was serene.

Also, as you point out, signature was much slower.
