- Provided you are doing the same thing under OS/2, an Amiga will compare quite
- well. Hell, I routinely run 10-12 tasks concurrently on my 'puny' 020 and
- notice very little degradation of the system unless there is wicked hard drive
- access going on with two or more tasks. I presume an 040 or 030 would offer
- even better performance.
