I concur.

It took me two days sweating over RAM data sheets to identify a modern part
from a device supplier to replace a 30 year old part on a card that we are
remanufacturing at work to ensure that all of the parameters met the
min/max timing.

The HOLD time is one if the parameters that can sometimes get forgotten...

Faster is not necessarily better...
