Paralel, do you find the speed on a PowerPC PowerBook's PCMCIA to be the equal or superior to a 68K PowerBook's PCMCIA?

From what we are seeing where, a PowerBook 190 is a bit slower than PowerBook 5300ce; with a hypothesis that a PowerBook 5300c/cs being equal. This would mean that a PowerBook 68040 at 66/33 MHz has the same bus speed as a PowerPC 603e on the 5300c/cs but the 5300ce having a slightly faster data bus.

Incidentally, a PowerBook 1400 117/133 seems to have  slowed down bus while the 1400 166 seems to have a slightly faster bus, but how would they compare to a 68K PowerBook 520 - 550 or a PowerBook 190?
