- Setpatch turns on all of the caches, burst mode, superscalar operation, by
- default, and that seems to get the best speed.

- The only reason not to have all these things on is if some other program

- the least system slowdown. If you do have problems, trial and error is the
- only way I can think of to find them.
-
- Turning off the instruction and data caches will cause a dramatic loss of
- speed; slower than an '040!
