- EVERYTHING? :-) Try this then:
-
- move.l #1000000,d3
- loop: muls.l d0,d1:d2
- subq.l #1,d3
- bne.s loop
-
- There are loads more examples where an '040 is faster, since the
- '060 designers stripped loads of features from the 68020+ instruction
- set, and those features have to be implemented as traps => slow as
- hell. In general, though, for compiler-generated code the '060 is lots
- faster.
-
- I find the removal of the muls.l instruction rather strange anyway.
- It's quite useful really.
