Using intensive math (floating point) what kind of performance can I 
expect to get by using a 68881 as a peripheral to the 68000?  I am
looking at floating point ray-tracing programs as my major use of this
chip, so I want to be sure it would be worth my while.

I have an Amiga 1000 with Starboard II memory board which has the ability
to have a daughterboard with a 68881.

thanks
