Well, there are some good benchmarks... Darek Mihocka just uploaded to 
GEnie his report on benchmarks he ran on the TT at it's Canadian unveiling. 
(Sorry, the report carries a copyright notice so I cannot post it!) However, 
I think it tends to support the comment regarding a 1/3 speed increase for 
non-recompiled code. Apparently, this performance is projected (by Atari) to
improve as the TOS on the TT is optimized.

Disclaimer: I deny everything!
