I continue to be amazed by it, but the datasheets seem to be showing a pretty compelling advantage (in terms of latency) for PCXX.

Here are some from micron:
micron.com
Showing 400/800 still at 40, 45, and 50ns for both 356/700 and 400/800 drdram

Now here is PC166:
micron.com
Showing latency as low as 8ns - the micron datasheet shows these parts support cas 1 !


Well, you are comparing the entire access time to the column access time. The fastest DRDRAMs are basically equal to standard (CAS-2) PC100 memory in random-access latency, according to my eyeballing of the timing diagrams.
