Speedometer Results Overrated?



Although Speedometer makes it look like that Executor is running at say -- 25 
mhz 68040 speed on a 90 mhz pentium  - other CPU intensive programs may not 
fare as well.  I got MACCHESS 2.0 to run (quite well) on Executor and for the 
same settings and position, it took MACCHESS almost 3x as long on Executor to 
arrive at the same result - 124 seconds to 43 seconds for my Daystar 
accelerated 68040 40 mhz IIvx. Indicating a comparable speed of 14-15 mhz 
68040.  Still impressive for an emulation program, but not quite as impressive 
as some of the Speedometer results.
