- Who says it has to be Motorola with the dodgy benchmarks? When
- benchmarks disagree with applications performance, I'll take the
- applications. Remember that Spec is just as much a test of harddisk,
- system bus, etc. as it is a test of CPU power. If you want a raw CPU
- benchmark, try dhrystone, which is the benchmark of choice in the
- embedded control CPu market.

- However, i think you'll find that it's not optimised for the 68060
- either, more the 68040.

- I believe you'll find that new versions of lightwave are developed on
- Windows NT, and ported to the Amiga.
