[Coco] Speed question

On a stock Coco 3 with the original rom there should be no difference 
between a 6809 and a 6309 since the original basic rom does not take 
advantage of the 6309 instruction set. I do not know of any rewrite of the 
basic rom for the Coco3 other than a modification of the disk routines to 
allow hard disk usage.
