- You mean the Amiga OS will automatically make pictures render twice as fast?
- The '030 is just as pitifully slow on the Amiga as a 386 PC. Try
- comparing similar apps doing similar things.

- Sorry. Motorola's benchmarks showed the '060-66 being slower than a
- Pentium-66 in integer calculations and a little faster in floating
- point. But Motorola still hasn't released the '060-66. The '060-50 is
- barely faster than a 040-40. That was the main reason that Daystar
- decided not to sell '060 accelerators for the Mac according to a a
- statement released about a year ago.
