  31. Amiga 2000 w/PPI 33MHz Zeus = 1:43

  33. Unfortunately, with the new speedier processors, this benchmark isn't
  34. very effective because its not nearly complex enough to do them justice.
  35. However, increasing the output resolution and enabling things like depth
  36. of field would be a little more telling.
