- Actually, yes, considering the major slowdown in the shapeshifter
- emulation comes from 1) Video updating and 2) Disk access (when using
- hardfiles). Since I happen to be the lucky owner of a CV64, the first
- is not a problem, and the second is only a problem for unregistered
- users. Aside from those two points, I can run Mac software as fast
- (and sometimes faster) than a "real" 030 Mac. Which isn't bad
- considering I am using an 030 Amiga.
