Short: CPU speed benchmark program
Author: Gareth Murfin (gazy@globalnet.co.uk)

Type: util/moni
tCPU - Amiga Bench Mark CPU tester
----------------------------------
By Gareth Murfin
tCPU is a simple program which you place in your C: directory and then in shell
type 'tCPU'. It will calculate the speed of your CPU by doing a few different
tests and averaging the results. It is measured in 'Murfins' which is similar
to MIPs or Mhz, although obviously they are on a completely different scale.
Here is a graph so that you can rate the performance of your CPU, although
you should be aware that sometimes a CPU seems far too fast or slow. This is
quite rare, but Ive had reports about it. I suppose you could call these
types of results anomalies, which need to be sorted out. tCPU averages out
all the results so 95% of the time you can be sure you're getting a correct
reading.
the thing to remember with tCPU is that the LOWER the Murfins the faster
your CPU is, my 060 scored 93.3 Murfins although Ive had reports of some
040's scoring exceptionally well presumable because of some command which the
060 hasnt got :)

Feedback
--------
To improve the accuracy of tCPU please send me your Amiga spec and CPU speed
in 'Murfins' to gazy@globalnet.co.uk. An ideal way is to do :
tCPU >ram:temp
and send me the file ram:temp. As it contains all the information I need ;-)
