- It doesn't have to be optimized for 060 to get a significant speedup.
- Average programs run about 3-4 times as fast on a 060/50 than on
- a 040/25, that's still about twice the speed of a 040/40.
-
- Saying this, one "optimization" has to be done. The code must not
- execute instructions that have to be emulated. But that's more or
- less true if you have code that is meant for 040.
